Bates' weapons are short and Torrance does have a slight range advantage (emphasis on "slight") but think about this: If Norman can close the distance (which I belive he can, he is a small target and quick and younger than Torrance) then Torrance's weapons will be too big and bulky in the close quarters combat whereas Bates' weapons can be used to great effect.
