MC-83355Can use a Bow while holding Blocks/Sword/Shield in your off-hand.
I assumed you needed 2 hands to use a bow and arrow, but with any object held in the off-hand that should be too big to use for anything else but that hand, you can still use the bow in the main hand which in first person looks like you're shooting the bow with one hand.

Can use a Bow while holding something in off-hand

Intended, you can choose the type of arrow you want to use by having them in your off hand, you couldn't choose the type of arrow otherwise, and if you don't have any special arrow in your off hand, normal arrows will be used if you have some in your inventory.
The issue arises because you can hold a sword, block, or anything else in your off-hand and use the bow <.<
Again, you couldn't choose the type of arrow if we couldn't put something in the off hand while using the bow, intended behavior for arrows at least, perhaps we shouldn't be able to have a sword there, we'll see what Mojang decides there, its still a snapshot in alpha stage, so it may have this kind of problems.
Intended, you can use the 2nd hand slot for arrow selection at the very least.
Request reopen - Updated Title.
@Aerotactics still intended. That's just how it works. Wanting it changed makes this a feature request, therefore also invalid as a bug report.
@Techy4198 Go out and buy a bow and use it with one hand. Report back with results.
@Aerotactics This is not real life we're on about. This is Minecraft. It's a game. If the developers want one-handed bows or stranger things then so be it.
This is intended.
