Uh depend on the region where the story are told Rama bow have differing name.. in where I lived it's called Kodandha.. it's one of two identical bow made for competition between Shiva and Vishnu (other version rather than competition it's full blown war instead..

anyway after said war/competition is over they discarded the bow.. Rama broke the string of Shiva bow then later he's given Vishnu bow without string from Parashurama.. the detail tho varies.

Historical lore wise it is impossible for Shinta to use it since the only one who can lift it is someone equal to the three great Gods.. a.k.a someone equals to Shiva, Vishnu or Brahma like Arjuna and Karna... no one can stop TM to give that bow to Sita tho..
