Anyone who have used/is going to use canvases for the bow!
Did you guys paint gesso first?or just started painting?
I don't know if I should buy one or not...
I'll definitely use it if it helps.

What type of paint are you considering using?

I'd probably prime the canvas with gesso first but obviously it would depend on what you were planning to do/what materials you are going to work with.

I'm using acrylics! Is it better to prime the canvas first then?

Yeah prime the canvas

If your canvas is unprimed, then use gesso to prime it. If it's primed, then don't worry about it
