What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want to make a program where a archer is shooting bouncing balls.
What is the problem you are having?
I cant figure out how to make the ball bouce like it would in real life. Also i dont know how to move the bow so it can release the string
Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I am new so I have no idea how this works. I just know how to draw pictures. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

First of all, do you know about variables and loops?
I'd advise knowing about them before proceeding with moving objects.
If you already do, then great! use a variable to model the x and y parameters of your ball. How realistic your bouncing is depends on how well you know about physics.
You can either choose to adapt a constant velocity approach, or use a constant acceleration. You could even choose to reduce the overall energy of the balls per bounce.
