I believe it's because grounders are more skilled in hand to hand combat and gourilla warfare. These skills help mount surprise attacks. The arkers are more trained with guns, yes guns can mow down multiple people but when up against people who use gorilla warfare you are at a disadvantage. I mean when you have multiple people jumping out of trees spearing people your going to be in shock and your not going to instantly ingage in a fight.

If you look back at season 3 Lincoln was training the arkers to fight grounders. I was kind of disappointed they never expanded on this.
