Yea, weapon could use an upgrade. Even if you went to a GC lvl44 weapon you would notice a difference. Vintage bow, HQ or if you can get it to drop from SV, Verdant short bow. You only have a couple lvl's left so the cheaper option might be the best. GC seals are easy to come across. For when you hit fiddy either get the GC 50 bow or the Longarm's composit. Each time through on a fifty I get two of the base weapon of the Relic quests. One NQ that is melded and ready to go for turn in, and another HQ that I use Until I get a drop from the primal parts of the quest or get the relic itself then convert for a (hopefully) tasty IV materia.

Don't know if it helps or not,
