Bard had the black arrow. If he did not have the knowledge of the dragon's weak spot, I think he would have hit anyway with it. If not, then why is it such a special arrow for him? There must be something good about it. If the Old Trush hadn't gotten him the information, or Bilbo, someone else would. But only Bard could have made the shot.
