Where the archers go in the ship? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bows
I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bows that I've seen before include "Acknowledges applause as actor does" , "some people play with" , "Knots with two loops" , "Looped knots of ribbons - fiddlesticks!" , "Bends, defers" .)
