Odysseus shoots a bow at Antinous... and it killed him
This is debatable, although many people would consider the first arrow into Antinous' throat (the first suitor killed) the first act.
I'm not sure what you mean his 'plan for the bow' but in The Odyssey the bow was used to challenge mens strength, first having a man attach the string to the wooden part of the bow and then use it to fire an arrow through the handle of axes (guessing that the axes handles had holes in it for hanging them up). Nearing the end of the story he and his son Telemachus use the bow in their plot to destroy the suitors who are using his food and home as their own and trying to marry his wife. The plot begins with the bow being brought out for the suitors, with Penelope (his wife) declaring she will marry anyone who can string and shoot it properly. The suitors all try and fail and as Odysseus is disguised as an old man they convince him to try, expecting him to fail also. He does it to their amazement and then shoots another arrow at one of the worst suitors Antinous. Odysseus and Telemachus (with help) murder all the suitors and housemaids after this and end up reclaiming their home.

in medias res
Odysseus begins plotting his revenge once he learns of the suitors, but he does not start killing them until Book XXII, after threading his bow, and shooting it through the twelve axes' handles.
Odysseus returns to Ithaca in Book 13 of The Odyssey. This is where he meets with his loyal swineherd, Eumaeus, and begins to plan out his revenge against the suitors.
This is debatable, although many people would consider the first arrow into Antinous' throat (the first suitor killed) the first act.
The climax of "The Odyssey" is when Odysseus finally returns home to Ithaca, defeats the suitors who have been vying for his wife Penelope's hand, and reveals his true identity to his son Telemachus. This moment marks the resolution of the main conflict in the story and Odysseus' journey to reclaim his home and family.
