While i could agree with a logical progression thing meaning they use a greater variety of weapons, and that perhaps Uryu had less understanding, the fact that all other quincy shown prior have all been using bows. His parents/grandfather/etc...

And yes, progression, but wouldnt that go more to guns (like colonel sanders) or lances/javelins?

Especially since the quincy are basically an antithesis of shinigami and their zanpakutou (although, also meaning that since some zanpakutou abilities are ranged it would make sense that some quincy ones are melee)...

Still rather like seeing a bow of some sort appear at some point i guess - maybe one reason i like the recent chapters with the cheerleaders so much...
