I usually only equip my fighter/thief(bow), ranger(bow/x-bow), ranger/cleric(sling), and fighter/druid(sling) with range weapons (they are not in the same party), and yes, I agree range weapon are pretty powerful at times. There are times where there are close encounters, hence my other party members usually engage in melee after maybe a spell or two. Personally I consider range weapon as close support for my melee party members, their job is to wear down enemies (similar to pure class mages in my games).
