Did knights use the bow and arrow?
Yes they did use bow and arrows. In regarding a medieval European knight, it would be very unusual for one of them to personally use a bow and arrow in warfare, or even in hunting.

Why would the knight in The Canterbury Tales want a servant who is good with a bow?
The interesting thing about the Yeoman who travels with the Knight is that he is armed even on pilgrimage: A sheef of pecok arwes brighte and keneUnder his belt he bar ful thriftily, There are two considerations here. Firstly, the knight has spent most of his professional life overseas. It is likely that he has now retired to a small country estate where he lives with a band of servants. The Knight is unlikely to live in a town: he is no tradesman. On his country estate, the Knight needs someone who is good with bow and arrow - to hunt and trap game (an important source of meat, especially in the winter months). But it is also worth considering that several of the campaigns the Knight has fought in were of dubious legality (Tramyssene and Lettow were both very controversial, and commercial, wars - as Terry Jones explains in his book on The Knight's Tale). It is certainly possible that the Knight has been working as a mercenary, perhaps employed by the fourteenth century equivalent of The Mafia. There may well be a contract out on the Knight, and he may need to travel with a bodyguard. Chaucer doesn't make this explicit, but he leaves the idea open.
