Styles and archery

Alright, when I'm thinking of making an Elven Archer because it's kind of ridiculous for a ranged character, but I still have 2 extra points weapons spec. points to spend... Somewhere... Now, I could just go for shortbows on top of longbows because, why not? But does Two-handed weapon style help out when using ranged weapons (since, technically, they're two-handed)? Or is that melee exclusive?

    The fighting styles only affect melee weapon combinations.

    You can easily go one of two ways: A 2-handed melee weapon and 2-handed style for a melee damage alternative, or a 1-hander and 1-weapon style for additional defense when forced into melee. You could technically just use a shield, but I hate pausing to swap equipment in the inventory screen.
