Robin Hood set up Camp with his Merry Man in Rumple's Castle (301) Can we assume he got his bow back? He gives Neal and Mulan a warning shot which misses them by inches, I think.

"The first one was a warning, mylady."

In EP 313 Witch Hunt breaking into the Dark Castle Robin bends his bow once warning Regina " Even if you choke the life out of me,this arrow will still leave my bow and trust me I never miss."

In EP 319 EF Robin Hood triggers the trap and disarms it with a single shot.

In EP 318 Robin says to Mr. Gold: "You know, this arrow never misses its mark." He is using a crossbow to fire that arrow, one that John stole from a shop owner that looked rich. Can we say for sure, he means Gold? (There are magicial items in his shop)

However, using the crossbow himself Little John misses the turkey he is aiming at ( EP 313)

One might say Robin Hood is using a enchanted bow in both EP 313 and 319  and mark that it "appears" in those two episodes as well.

Furthermore, I think we should remove it appearing in 318 because

1. there's a difference between a bow and a crossbow (the flashbacks of this episode concentrate on Cora)

2. if  the crossbow Robin Hood is  using in Storybrooke is enchanted, Little John shouldn't have missed the  turkey (EP 313). John's intention was very clear and back then in the Enchanted Forest the Bow even managed to hit Rumple (EP 219). We have magic in Storybrooke, don't we?

Nevertheless, Robin is a practiced archer. In a flashback from the tower Robin told Charming he turned down an offer to use a magical plant (nightroot) to overcome his fears.
