Sometimes, archers in fantasy settings come across these peculiar weapons: Energy Bows, bows and crossbows without the pesky need for arrows.
Though these weapons may impart some magical advantage such as Bottomless Magazines (in the context of being able to shoot continuously with no reloading), they will still need to be operated in the same fashion as a mundane bow would, including nocking. This is despite the fact that they may lack critical parts of a mundane bow (like the string) and their projectiles may not be subject to forces like gravity or wind, making it more awkward for a trained archer to operate.
An Energy Bow comes in two main flavors:
One is a solid bow that does not fire mundane arrows, but some sort of energy-based beam or projectile instead. These kind of energy bows are more common, and may or may not double as melee weapons.
Two, the bow itself is made of energy: Hard Light is common, but there are also cases of bows made of fire and other usually-formless materials. They may or may not shoot arrows made from the same material as the bow.
Sometimes Energy Bows pop up in Sentai shows as the weapon of the Action Girl or Lady of War, and may be related to Ki Manipulation. In other settings, it's a natural weapon of choice for the Magical Native American.
May overlap with Abnormal Ammo, Spontaneous Weapon Creation, Sacred Bow and Arrows, and with Invisible Bowstring.

In Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, this is Madoka's weapon if she becomes a Magical Girl - and in every previous timeline where she did. In the "final" timeline, Homura trades in her guns for a bow of her own.

Digimon:
Angewomon from Digimon Adventure, although the 'bow' is actually her arm, which is frankly rather odd looking and by all rights should break something. Then again, we are talking about a celestial being made entirely of computer code who spends most of her time in the form of a bipedal cat, so logic and the laws of physics can probably be safely ignored.
SkullKnightmon from Digimon Adventure: (2020) is able to freely summon one of these to replace her lances, becoming SkullKnightmon: Arrow Mode. Both the string and the arrows are made of some kind of dark energy. She is also able to use the bow after evolving to DarkKnightmon, though the string is now made of red light and the arrows have a dull red glow at the center. It may or may not be an Evil Counterpart to Angewomon's bow.

Might and Magic VI and VII, at least, have artifact bows that do this. The bow itself is perfectly real and substantial, but the missiles are ice or lightning spontaneously generated when the (unloaded) bow is fired. Additionally, a bow with the "Of Carnage" enchantment inflicts no extra damage, but the missile explodes on impact with a small but useful blast radius (which confusingly does not count as magic damage for those creatures immune to normal weapons).

Bleach: Quincies are a clan of human magic users who can manifest bows and arrows made from spiritual energy. Some use Hard Light bows (Uryuu's initial preference) and others use bows of such concentrated energy that they appear completely solid (his father Ryuuken's preference). Quincies traditionally prefer bows to distinguish themselves from the sword-wielding Shinigami, but they do have the ability to create a wide range of Energy Weapons that defy the expectations of reality: for example, Quincies that prefer swords can still fire arrows from the blades, and Ryuuken is capable of using his bow one-handed.

The Legendary Bow Thori'dal: The Stars Fury from the Sunwell in World of Warcraft generates magical arrows when the bowstring is drawn. It was more impressive back when you needed ammo to fire a ranged weapon, but the bow still has a unique firing animation.
Chronologically appearing before Thori'dal, the artifact "Thas'dorah, Legacy of the Windrunners" still uses physical ammunition (and has its own quiver), but is capable via certain traits of firing coalesced wind arrows.

Completing the campaign for "The New War" of Warframe, Warframes get access to the Sentient-made bow Nataruk, which is a type-1 variant of this trope: an organic solid bow with an energized string and arrows. It's a little faster than most other bows you'll be using, in that tapping the fire button will allow you to fire a single arrow quickly. Holding the fire button allows you to play a little minigame with the reticle, as the last third of the reticle will mark a sweet spot you have to release just in time before the full charge to do extra damage... you can still fire an arrow at full charge for extra damage and infinite punch-through on bodies, but you'll definitely want to aim for the 'perfect shot' for that extra crit chancenote full charge grants a 50% crit chance with a 2.2x crit multiplier, but a perfect shot grants a 60% chance for a 2.4x multiplier.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening gives Dante a a demon laser crossbow/gun called the Artemis. It's really useful when equipped with Gunslinger style. One can target multiple enemies at once, can be fired into the air, resulting in a rain of bolts on enemies, a huge charge with extra damage. Also, there are enemies called Enigma, demon statues with multiple limbs that can cast energy bows to attack.

The Magical Gesture for casting the Flare Arrow spell is to pantomime drawing a bow and arrow, which manifests a bow made of fire before launching.
In TRY, one of the Dark Star weapons was a bow, compared to the other four which are magical Laser Blades of some kind. The bow is also the most powerful of the five.

Takumi, one of the main character's siblings and an archer from Fire Emblem Fates, wields the Fujin Yumi, which has a bowstring made of wind magic (hence the name), and fires arrows made of the same.
When he gets possessed by Anankos and becomes the Final Boss of the game's Conquest route, his weapon is replaced by Skadi which has a bowstring of darkness and fires arrows made of darkness.

Super Robot Wars has a few, including:
Super Robot Wars Advance: The Angelg is armed with a bow from which it can fire rapid energy arrows as part of its "Illusion Arrow" attack, or a huge fiery bird for its Finishing Move "Phantom Phoenix".
Super Robot Wars Judgment: The Bellzelute's Finishing Move "Orgone Rifle A" (Absolute) docks its pistols to the top and bottom of its Orgone Rifle in a crossbow-like formation, the core of which then splits into a Wave-Motion Tuning Fork and generates a massive arrow of crystallised Orgone as the Bellzelute draws it back.

On article on the WotC Dungeons & Dragons site presented weapons from the Dungeons & Dragons (1983) cartoon including Hank's energy-stringed bow "Heatseeker" (under the name "Hank's Energy Bow"). It's often regarded as the best ranged weapon ever printed for the system, as not only does it deal untyped damage which bypasses all forms of Damage Reduction and energy resistance, it grants the wielder a ranged version of the Power Attack feat,note Allows the user to reduce their attack accuracy by an amount of their choice, and receive a proportional bonus to damage giving archers a significant damage boost that's normally exclusive to melee characters.

Grey and Khita in Atlas Reactor, both characters on The Straight and Arrow Path in a futuristic sci-fi setting, have bow-like weapons that shoot bolts of energy. Grey has a solid pistol crossbow that shoots bolt-shaped blasts of energy, while Khita has a longbow that can shoot both bolts of energy and what seems to be solid arrows (albeit ones that ignore gravity).

Cradle Series: Most archers have something like this. In fact, the only time we see bows with wooden arrows is in Sacred Valley, which is infamously backward. Mercy in particular is known for weaving techniques together, making an arrow that will poison someone's body, destroy their mind, and pin them to the floor all at the same time. That being said, because Sword Beams are a basic technique, swords are actually a ranged weapon in this world. Therefore, bows are a bit rare and considered overspecialized; swords can be used for both melee and ranged combat, while bows can only be used at range.

The Talon Engineer in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer uses this as his main weapon, known as the Omni-Bow. It can fire five arrows at once, either in a fanning formation, or in a straight line that homes in on enemies. Not only that, but he can also fire Concussion Arrows, which blows enemies off their feet, or Armor-Piercing Arrows, which do massive damage against protected enemies.

Whenever a Rider in Kamen Rider uses a bow-like weapon, there is a high chance it fires laserbeams instead of physical arrows.
Kamen Rider Kuuga is the first to introduce this trope to the franchise. The titular Rider is able to transform regular guns into a crossbow that fires energy blasts.
The Riders who use a Genesis Driver in Kamen Rider Gaim use the Sonic Arrow as their primary weapon: a bow that uses a spring-loaded lever in place of an actual arrow, and fires energy arrows. It also has blades on the limbs of the bow, allowing it to be used as a melee weapon.

The Crystal bow in RuneScape, made out of elven crystal, has well over two thousand inherent charges, each of which creates one glowing green energy arrow. It's not a truly popular weapon, though, as it degrades over time, and turns into a small piece of crystal once its charges are depleted. The recharge itself is fairly expensive as well, starting at one million ingame coins at first, though it comes down to a fifth of the original as the bow attunes itself to you.
Another, and more reliable in stats, is the Zaryte Bow, which is energy arrow type. At a cost of around 20 million coins and expensive repairs here and there, this bow rivals that of some of the stronger crossbows, and packs quite a punch.
Yet another, even stronger Energy bow, is the Seren Godbow, which is currently the strongest weapon in the game. To obtain it, you have to either cough up billions of coins, or fight Telos, an SNK Boss with some of the toughest mechanics in the game, until you get the unpowered bow and three untradeable orbs required to power it up.

It's also a cause of Awesome, but Impractical: the arrow is powerful enough to one-shot a Nigh-Invulnerable rylo demon, but draws so much power from the magical ether that, according to Yukari and Ruby, if they even tried to hold it, the power behind it would cause their bodies to explode.

Both types are used for bow Legends in Brawlhalla, though many fall under type 1. One of the only type 2 Energy Bows in the game belongs to Koji in his Shin Sekai appearance. The widely-used type 1 bow model is what allows the Legends to wield their bows as melee weapons, in turn enabling them to execute the bow's trademark ridiculously long combos without clashing with logic. Why Shin Sekai Koji can execute them as well as anyone else, however, is likely the work of another trope altogether.

Hercules: The Animated Series: The Armageddon Bow, commissioned by Ares and forged by Hephaestus. It was an unstrung bow with a face, but pulling back the "string" allowed it to fire energy arrows that hit with the force of lightning (or rather a little less to keep Zeus happy). Hephaestus, annoyed at Ares, made the thing a Talking Weapon which couldn't stop lamenting it's existence as an instrument of war. At the end of the episode, the bow winds up in Cupid's hands and is quite happy to now be used to bring people together rather than blow them apart.

A Pyramid article about ultra-tech arrows for GURPS includes a "force arrow" made on the same principle as the force swords. The emitter (equivalent to a force sword hilt) is a stubby metal cylinder with fletching and a nock. The activation button is in the nock, meaning the arrow appears automatically when you draw back the bow.

In Awesomenauts, Cowboy Cop Rocco wields an ACOG Blackout G-Mag Laserbow. It doesn't really fire like a bow (despite being longbow-shaped, it's semi-automatic and held in one hand), but the bullets fly like arrows.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: Popp's final Finishing Move, Medroa, is performed by casting high-level fire magic in one hand and ice magic in the other, then forcing his hands together to create a shaft of crackling light. By pulling back one hand as if drawing a bow, he can then generate and fire a ludicrously powerful "arrow" capable of disintegrating entire mountains in a single shot. Unfortunately, the villains quickly realise that Dai's Lancer has become powerful enough to One-Hit Kill them, and begin preparing reflection magic and other counters to prevent him from using Medroa freely.

Kingdom Hearts:
In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Aqua's Keyblade Glider is also a giant bow that fires energy arrows. As cool as her bow is, it's only able to be used in two areas of the game.
Birth by Sleep also features Braig wielding "arrowguns" that are crossbow shaped and fires energy bolts.
In Kingdom Hearts III, the stylechange for the Shooting Star Keyblade gives Sora his own crossbow shaped arrowguns that fire magical energy arrows.
Kingdom Hearts III also gives Xigbar a special move where he combines his arrowguns into an energy bow.

Pit's bow in the Super Smash Bros. series. This extends to Dark Pit as well.
Plus all of the bow-type weapons he can use in Kid Icarus: Uprising; though this is a more borderline example given that these bows don't need to be nocked.
