Question is in the title. If I shoot a bow, the game skips like 7-10 turns or maybe even more in steps. Mostly my archer will die because someone gets close to him. Is this a bug or is this supposed to happen?

It probably has to do with your relative skill level, though I imagine there is always a slightly delayed rate of fire, otherwise NPC archers would be even more deadly.

Maybe its pulling out an arrow, striking the arrow, drawing the bowstring, aiming, and firing and repeating.

as said before, due to skill level. Your adventurer just isn't a master archer and marksdwarf yet, so some fumbling and slow speed are to be expected. Bring meat shields or better, practice on bunnies first.

Pick up lots of stones and throw them. This trains Thrower, a ranged skill. Archer is raised too, sort of like Swordsmanship + Fighter. I got to Legendary +5 Archer without ever touching a bow.

throw metal arrows or bolts, they're like javelins and the bad guys tend to keep me well supplied. It's better than constantly making new stones (if you sharpen them) and it allows you to keep a melee weapon and shield in your hand at the same time. It's just too bad you can't restack them.
