Pardon the interruption, but this isn’t quite true. Strider uses a bow in the films as well, at least once, at the Battle of Balin’s Tomb. Minis based on the films may or may not have a bow, so do with that what you will.

Denying ranged attacks altogether for one turn strikes me as... inelegant? And also not quite hitting his ability to keep four Hobbits safe by himself. There’s already a mechanic in the game for what you’re trying to achieve, why not adapt that?

RANGER’S CONCEALMENT 16
When Strider, or an unengaged small or medium figure adjacent to Strider is targeted for a normal or special attack and receives 1 or more wounds, you may roll the 20-sided die. Count the minimum number of spaces between the attacking figure and the defending figure. Add this number to your die roll. If you roll a 16 or higher, ignore any wounds the defending figure just received.

Also, if you’re trying to represent the Ranger and not the King here, I’d say the personality is better as Tricky. He tracked Gollum across half the known world, outwitted spies of Sauron and the Nazgul, etc. Resolute and Confident are good for where he ends up, but not as representative as where he starts the books.
