the bow completely dominates ranged Steppe combat throughout history, but sometimes you come across references of the use of Javelins, particularly by Scythians, Parthians as well as Seljuks but other than some short mentions there is no real information about the tactcial use or advantages/disadvantages of the javelin compared to the bow. since it came up in the Steppe archery thread, i thought people can post their observations and opinions here.
