I know, but even the Compound Short Bow is easy to find, it's on the perch of the first tower in 1-2.
(I made a mistake on my first post, I confused the CSB with the CLB xD)
Even by starting the game, the lowest dexterity he has to have to use bows is 10, which would only make a 1 point damage difference in the dragon, so even then, a maximum of 200 arrows will be required.
I know that you can farm souls like that, but the farming in 4-2 is even easier, just go through the archway, go to the perch above the Reaper enemy, fire a few arrows, and boom, instant 9K souls xD.
In NG+, coupled with the Silver Bracelet + Ring of Avarice + Soul Thirst Spell, I got 24K souls easy xD.
Alternatively, my main farming source was the Black Phantom Black Skeleton in Pure Black 4-2, using all those items, plus SoulSucker. 30K souls in less than a minute (49K if you kill the Reaper along the way).
