On the third hand (Grotaron!) those blustery winds so beloved of Orlanthi magicians are a complete and total pain for any sort of halfdecent archery. A nice ordererly steady wind at the back might be useful but IMG that's not the sort of wind your average Orlanthi calls up. Rain is hardly helpful to archers either.
Regardless of which I'm sure there are myths of Orlanth stealing the bow and therefore Orlanthi who use it, probably there are even whole clans who specialise in its use as their favourite weapon.
