Slings are one-handed
bows are 2-handed
right!!

but Where are the style bonus ??

ex:
Single weapon style: 2 pro.
if you use sling you should get -2 AC bonus and 19-20 Cri.. (with no shield)

Single weapon style: 1 pro
if you use sling you should get -1 AC bonus and 19-20 Cri.. (with no shield)

and the same for bow and two-handed-wea-style

is this a bug ??

    This is not a bug. The weapon styles are only for melee weapons.

    The reason for this is that because ranged weapons have a significant leg up over melee weapons: namely, range. True, melee is better vs. ranged when melee is within fighting distance, but ranged has the advantage of being able to reach out and touch someone far before they get to that point. "Ranged style" would be AMAZINGLY powerful in a lot of ways.
