Cherkis bow varieties are believed to be the set of spaces where 3d mirror symmetry for characteristic classes can be observed. We describe geometric structures on a large class of Cherkis bow varieties by developing the necessary combinatorial presentations, including binary contingency tables and skein diagrams. We make the first steps toward the sought after statement for 3d mirror symmetry for characteristic classes by conjecturing a formula for cohomological stable envelopes. Additionally we provide an account of the full statement, with examples, for elliptic stable envelopes.
