Is there something i'm missing with the bow?

I i always find that my main attack ( tap triangle 3x, then hold it) takes too long to set up, so i always end up getting interrupted in a 1v1. So what do you people use to avid this, do you melee attack? Or am i missing out on a special skill that takes less preparation?

Thanks

Never use flurry shot in a 1v1

Any range attack is vulnerable to lunge, tap block then use bb with your bow, very effective and can use the melee attacks while players are down, with the new delay in breakouts even using trinkets every weapon beneft so much in counters.

You're missing skill.

Don't use a bow when doing pvp.

tap square x3, hold square, hold triangle is the best way to go into flurry shot imo.
