Shift-I, find the bow listed in your inventory (it'll be highlighted in red), select it and hit a.

Whenever I attempt to steal items, I grab it with an empty hand, then jump away. This usually had better results for me when I was robbing conscious enemies. It even works on more divine creatures.

I think that may even be part of the dwarven martial arts. ;)

After playing this game for 6 years I finally learn the correct way to pull out lodged weapons :o

Are there any other secret shift-I uses?  I think all I knew about was filling objects with liquid, reading books and naming items.
Oh and using artifact slabs.
