Bows are not designed to be like Sniper Rifles, they both have that ' one shot, one kill' style but that's the end of similarity.

Snipers are long range, high accuracy, hitscan weapons. They're meant for shooting that guy on the other side of the map in the head on your first try. (Yes, I know Lanka actually has travel time but the 200 m/s flight is by far the fastest projectile in game)

Bows fire projectiles with flight time and an arc to their flight path. This makes them unsuitable for ling range because small motions by the enemy can make you completely miss and leading becomes harder when the enemy can change directions well before the arrow gets there. This combined with the relatively slow fire rate makes bows most effective at moderate distances.
