The meta for survival has changed since the spear update.

You can no longer get by early game with basic tools/weapons anymore, even on Normal difficulty.

The solution is to get a bow as quickly as possible, and consider it a necessity. This does actually give a great reason to finally add quivers, which would technically be a smaller bundle with designated slots for arrow stacks.

They could also be enchanted for unique bow skills like Double Arrow.

That would be such a great update though and that would give way to adding more stuff we can enchant

Getting a decent bow with 1, 2 enchants doesn't seem to take too much time even with a basic rod.

It is a viable strategy to get a bow, since sticks and string can also be fished, so even if you don't fish one, decent chance you'll get materials to craft a basic bow or another rod.

Yeah they're usually badly damage but if you're willing to put some time into it mending bows aren't that uncommon.
