Be prepared to keep her supplied with arrows. Once you remove the hidden bow, the never-ending-arrow-supply bug is also removed.
If you just check every time you enter a new area (autosave takes place if you have that turned on), you can take away and then give back
whatever better bow you want her to use and she will use it instead of that damned hunting bow. She used up almost 100 daedric arrows before I
realized what was going on
