crusaders and ranged attackFollow

Crusaders cannot equip a ranged weapon. You lost that ability when you became a crusader. However you should be able to pull with one of your direct damage spells. My wife is a Paladin but I can't remember which spell she pulls with at the moment. You should also check out http://eq2.tentonhammer.com/index.php?meid=6 for all your class information until you have to make that decision of Paladin or Shadow Knight. If you choose Paladin, Ten Ton Hammer site will be your new home :-) If not, well I'm not sure where ShadowKnights get thier info.
