Triceps straightens the arm(biceps bends it) - so to keep your arm straight, you need triceps.
To raise the bow you use the deltoids. Basic exercise for this is to lift a (light) weight out to the side (palms down) with a straight arm to shoulder level, without allowing he shoulder to come up.
Exercise both sides equally. If you feel pain - stop.
