Pro/Cons of Upgrading Bows w/Blue instead of Red ?
So I've accumulated a whole bunch of those Upgrade-Stones but most of them seem to be Blue for some reason.
I know people say to use Red Stones for Bows but I really really want to use up these Blue-Coloured Stones.
What are all of the Pros & Cons of going Blue instead of Red for a Bow ?

This is the case for all melee and ranged type weapons, and even Cylinders, however it is not the case with Wands or Staves; They make things a little more complicated but that isn't directly related to your specific question about bows.
There is an outlier though, Firebolt breaks even around 300~ magic attack, so a Red upgraded chain casting Tribolt wand is actually viable compared to Blue, this applies to fusion bolt with Firebolt as well for the upcoming fusion chain casting for wand egos.
That being said, a Blue special upgraded Bow or Gun have been made effectively pointless due to gachapon Black Dragon Knight Bow, Black Star, and Golden Dowra SE as they will all surpass the min/max damage of Blue special upgraded counterparts. You can get a Taunes MK3 close to Black Star max but you end up with half~ish the max dura and are paying 10x repair so it isn't really viable.
