Since elves are proficient with bows, and a druid could concievably take any weapon proficiency, then he could learn to use a bow with no penalties.

In 3.5E, the restriction applies only to wearing prohibited armor and shields. Weapons were stricken from the verboten list. So if you're playing by 3.5E rules, an elven druid can use swords and bows freely.
