For the elided קֶשֶׁת after נשׁק, see the collocation in 1 Chr 12:2 and 2 Chr 17:17. As an entire construction, however, the first constituent, נוֹשְׁקֵ֥י, is in semantic apposition to the two following, רוֹמֵי־קָ֑שֶׁת (GKC §130e), to read "those armed of those shooters of a bow" >> "those armed [with a bow], those shooting [with] a bow" (cf. Delitzsch 1871, 365).
