I don't know if we can talk about a Maya bow. Their climatic conditions varied (allover their territories) much more than the ones of the Asian steppe people. For the rainy regions, the bows must have been self bows as traditional glues would not have hold. So, wooden "primitive" bows. Since they did not use heavy armors, their war bows would have been much lighter than the European and Asian ones. For the drier regions, the wood of choice could have been the locust and/or the carob wood, but in these regions "primitive composites" (with no siyahs) or sinew backed bows are likely to have been used, too.
As for the arrows, hardwoods, including exotic ones, and stone points. The fletchings were big and often spiral glued on (as a characteristic of their arrows), in order for a more stable flight to be obtained (a stone point has usually a smaller weight for the same surface compared to an iron point, so sometimes you need a plus of fletching work).
