I never used claw and I never really needed it. :|

Just use your thumb if you don't move or you can't move to change the camera. With some practice it can be easy (I never used the claw so I can't compare them) but for sure less painful than the claw technique. I can always have the monster in the screen.

Especially with Bow it is an easy-to-use technique as you (normally) don't have to move that much as with melee weapons. So I advise you to try it, if you use Bow.
