You know when your combo counter start going red and is shaking ? Use your bow and look at the choices at the bottom right. Left Ctrl is fire arrow. You need to have your combo counter red tho :D

Once your sword glows, you press left click to use the bow and press leftctrl

For PC I've read lots of answers for this question and most missed out essential details. For PC here is what worked for me:

1) Charge the BOW with the 8 hits, not the sword. This means 8 consecutive hits with the BOW (not the sword). If I swapped back to my sword (By releasing the right mouse button), the counter would be reset. If you have the skill which charges on 5 hits, then you'll only need 5 hits.
1a) because the focus fire takes so long, I tended to only use quick shots to charge the bow. I found that if I used charged shots I would get overwhelmed by enemies before I managed to fire the 8 (or 5) shots.
1b) I found that if I got hit by anything, this would reset my counter (as it does with the sword).
1c) Because you need 8 (or 5) shots to charge the bow for fire arrows, you need to have a big arrow magazine, so you'll need to have upgraded you arrows to hold at least 10 arrows (8 arrow magazine if you only need to charge with 5 arrows)

2) ONc ethe bow is charged, whihc is indicated by the hit count turning red, while remaining in bow mode with the right mouse button, hit the L-crtl button. Do not press the left mouse button as you normally would. This will fire the fire arrow. Just touch the L-ctrl button, you don't need to long-press it.

There is a quest which involves shooting 5 orcs with fire arrows. Having just played that quest, I would recommend that you max out your arrow magazine and get the skill which allows you to charge with 5 hits. Too frustrating otherwise.
