I've had this issue a lot. Sometimes to the extent that I remake, tweak, or edit the story of the character with current interactions to make him change to what I want him to be. My solution always has been to find or add a story avenue to explain as to why suddenly I am okay with wielding a bow now. With my last character, I had it be a hunting thing. He really got into finding and hunting down dangerous beasts. While I can do that alright with a sword and shield, it's much easier if you can tag them from far away. I also befriended a archer type that was willing to persuade my character of it's benefits.
So there's my two cents on it.
EDIT: Forgot my chocobos.
