Starting archer again. Need advise on arrow and bow selection for the grind to 50

[Belial]

R26~28: Ash Longbow
R33~35: Kokoroon's Nestpicker
R40~41: Oak Composite Bow
R45~46: Crab Bow

Like Belial said, just use Warped Arrows for grinding.

Just a question for ya Carraway out of curiosity, but is it really worth it to dump the change into purchasing an Oak Composite Bow (assuming the OP doesn't have crafts leveled), for two ranks, or would it be more beneficial to just take the DPS hit on a lower ranked bow? I guess in the long run if he knows crafters he could use it to get someone to craft a Crab Bow later on, I just thought it looked kinda odd to grab a bow for two ranks.
