You can use alchemy to give some nasty effects to your arrows. Create poison, click poison, click arrow, shoot.

Since weakness must be applied BEFORE the damage to be of any use, you can't do both in one go. As such, it might be better to give your bow some extra elemental damage instead of weakness. Sure, you're next shot won't do increased elemental damage, but since you were sneaking (of course you were) when you fired the first shot, that one will do N times as much damage, where N is dependent on your sneak skill. This multiplier goes not only for normal damage but also other damage types from what I've heard.

If you need to go into battle where you can't go back to sneaking after the first enemy is down, just take along another bow and give that one some weakness enchants, then switch bows after the first shot.
