While the knockback of the Bow of the Bear is nice in a lot of places,
there are other times you need to get a higher damage weapon.  My
first advice would be to try and find a higher damage bow.  Most of
the heavy war bows are 1-14 damage and you can often find them with
plusses to damage (massive, brutal bows, or bows with fire or
lightning damage).  If you pin a monster down with repeated hits, it
will have nearly the same effect as the knockback (i.e. they won't be
able to do anything until they die).  Hope this helps :)
