I don't agree this is a fair assumption--melee guys sometimes decide to switch out to ranged combat.But even then, a ranged fighter is likely to have the Archery Fighting Style, giving them a +2 to attacks with ranged weapons.
I only bring this up because I've had such a case arise in my game (IIRC it was an AC 15 gnoll hiding on the second floor of a hunting lodge), and I had to decide about a 2HF Champ's arrow. (I gave it to him.)
