    If I use a bow or a crossbow, which style should I upp? Two-handed weapon style?

    This is right, there is no weapon style that gives boni for ranged weapons.

    Anyway there is a way to improve missile weapon THACO: High dex ;)
    16 = +1
    18 & 18 = +2
    19 & 20 = +3
    21, 22 & 23 = +4
    24 & 25 = +5

    Arrows of piercing also give +4 on THACO and the bracs of archery give +2 on missile weapon THACO.

    Sentry if I understand your question right then you ask what weaponslot you should use you proficiency points in?

    It isn't two handed weapon style it is for melee,

    It is only proficiencies in bow, missile weapons or crossbows that makes a difference and Dex as posted above.
