In summary

From Middle High German buoc (“animal shoulder”), from Old High German buog (“animal shoulder”), from Proto-West Germanic *bōgu, from Proto-Germanic *bōguz (“arm; shoulder”).
The common contemporary meaning bow stems via Low German from Middle Low German bôch, from Old Saxon bōg. More at bough.
