Weapon, stick, prodding pig, fight ensuing (3,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bow and arrow

'weapon' is the definition.
(bow and arrow is a kind of weapon)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bow and arrow that I've seen before include "Weapons" , "old weapon" , "Primitive weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
