A wounding bow (or ammunition or any other ranged weapon) is certainly a possibility. In fact, since daggers are defined as being able to be used as melee or thrown weapons, wounding thrown weapons are clearly possible.A point of Con damage is pretty brutal but I don't think it's beyond the pale for the +2 bonus equivalence. Note that this is defined as not being subject to critical hit multiplying and there is no caveat about magical/natural healing unlike earlier editions. It's just a point of Con damage per hit, healable by Lesser Restoration.Edit: Thinking about it some more, I'd proabably be inclined to prefer wounding ammunition rather than the bow itself. There's been some debate about whether properties of the missile weapon transfers to the ammunition. With respect to being counted as magical or aligned, the rules are explicit. It's not as clear with certain other properties. To cut through the ambiguity, I'd recommend making wounding arrows rather than the bow.</blockquote>
