Surrenders primitive weapons (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bows

I believe this is a double definition.

'surrenders' is the first definition.
(bow can mean to surrender or give in)

'primitive weapons' is the second definition.
(as in a bow and arrow)

(Other definitions for bows that I've seen before include "Acknowledges applause as actor does" , "Bends, defers" , "Looped knots of ribbons - fiddlesticks!" , "some people play with" , "Bends from the waist deferentially" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
