I need to return the question: Have you ever seen a Klingon on screen 
shooting arrows? :-)

Okay, staying in the game, I think that Klingons certainly enjoy close 
contct combat. Whe know they have lots of swords, knives, axes etc. They 
have spears, and even a spear throwing device, which still does not go 
sofar as an arrow goes. Arrows are good for long distance fights.
I think that's just not the Klingon way of fighting.

Perhaps someone knows more about that, because I'm usually more into 
grammar than culture.
