Yet regular bows were probably the more commonly used ones amongst nobility, as the arbalest (which was a variation of the medieval crossbow that only came about during the 12th century, so really should not be used interchangeably with crossbow) was viewed with even more disdain than normal bows by many nobles.
*key note* Even this article, which is about the use of bows in war by the nobility, notes that some nobles viewed it with disdain. So it is perfectly ok to say your noble views those who use the bow as lowly... but it is also perfectly fine to play your noble as a bowman.
