One solution to the problem of bows being able to be effectively used at melee range would be to make any melee damage taken reset the draw process (partially, or entirely). This would force the archer to either switch to a melee weapon. As Snoopy pointed out, a mechanic like this would be realistic.

As I have never written a forge mod, I do not know how difficult this would be to implement, but it is something to consider.
