Tome of battle banned. Assuming force is unavailable or wanting to supplement it. Going full fighter for feats ( and to keep thing simple a bit with group. Still learning the game ). Is there bludgeoning or slashing ammo that goes along with bows? Ranged sunder feat ( sometimes ranged pin too ), hence the question. Sometimes gotta destroy the weapons of the minions to help take down the BBEG.

Also, LA +1 max. Not warforged. Good races/templates/skill tricks for full-on fighter? Or heck, which 2 fighter bonus feats to pick up via monk-ignoring reqs ( not epic ) through martial monk.

What you are looking for is either in A&EG or RotW I think.

Full fighter leaves a LOT to be desired, you get NOTHING on a lot of levels and you will fairly quickly out of feats to take eventually, and I wouldn't recommend it.

If you want a good single class archer in pure 3.5, Cleric with the Zen Archery feat (Complete Warrior) and eventually a Monk's belt (UAS lets you threaten, Wisdom to AC may eventually be better than your armor) is a very good option as you can really just focus on Wisdom.

Just use boxing glove arrows.

Races of the Wild is indeed the book to look at for slashing and bludgeoning arrows. I believe they have a couple other kinds of special arrows too that might be worth looking at.

Races of the Wild does indeed have Slashing and Bludgeoning arrows. The Serpentstongue arrows deal slashing/piercing, and are also good for damaging low-hardness items. Blunt arrows deal bludgeoning, but it's also, somewhat unfortunately, nonlethal damage. The cost of both are thankfully quite cheap.
