How do you detect what item was used to kill a mob?

I am making an advancements mod and I want to add an advancement that is given when the player gets 100 kills with a bow. Unfortunately, I do not know how to detect if the player killed the mobs with a bow and if the player is the same, and not a different player. If I could get some help on this, it would be appreciated greatly!

What I did to solve the issue was I detected what the player was holding when they killed something. Since it was a bow for me, I checked if they had a bow in their main hand, off hand, or both.
