From what I remember, the old shootX()'s work off the NPC's x/y instead of the player's.

Something like:

this.x = player.x;
this.y = player.y;
shootarrow(player.dir);

might work. However, I'm pretty sure you don't need to take precautions like this(as WNPC's should by, default, be positioned at the player's x/y). Default bows are actually scripted and simply use shootarrow(player.dir).
