You're probably thinking of the Deadly Hunter, which is a unique composite bow like the Bow of the Dead.
On normal difficulty, any monster that is high enough level to drop an item with the base-type of a composite bow (qlvl=7) is high enough level to drop a Bow of the Dead (qlvl=5), so it will drop that instead of a Deadly Hunter (qlvl=3).
On nightmare and hell difficulty, where monsters receive a bonus for the base-type of the items they drop, there is a narrow range of monsters in the early Church levels that can drop composite bow base types and a Deadly Hunter, but are too low lvl to drop a Bow of the Dead.
Confusingly, I believe the Deadly Hunter, the Bow of the Dead, and Eaglehorn all have the same graphic, even though Eaglehorn is a long battle bow and has nothing to do with the other two.
