I play Hexblade warlocks a lot. I, of course, usually take Pact of the Blade to go with it. It says you can only summon melee weapons. Do Hexblades ignore this rule? Would I be able to summon a longbow as as my pact weapon with Pact of the Blade?

There is also a way other than that though. The pact of the blade includes:
So, if you can find a magical longbow, you can make it into your pact weapon, even without the improved pact weapon invocation
