Pathfinder 3.5 e, Ranged Weapon Enhancement Question

So I looked and I do not see anything specifically in the descriptions that would prevent one from putting the Distance Weapon Enhancement on a ranged weapon more than 1 time.. all be it it will cost, but gold is not the subject for this.

Is there a rule somewhere that I am missing that prevents one from stacking the Distance Weapon Enhancement on a ranged weapon more than 1 time ?

if so please Cite source (3.5 book and page) (Pathfinder book and page) OR link if legally able.

i don't know the answer for-sure myself, but my assumption is that the range increase would count as an "Enhancement bonus", with enhancement bonuses not stacking with themselves, similar to how you can't cast "Bull's strength" on one guy multiple times in order to buff his strength up to the 40's.

That said, there is at least one other method of increasing the ranged distance, via the Spear Thrower (https://aonprd.com/EquipmentMiscDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Spear-thrower), which also doubles the weapon's range. So those two would likely stack with one another.


Was looking at the Distance enhancement myself for a Harpoon my character has.

for my purpose Spear Thrower will not work

Magic weapons have enhancement bonuses ranging from +1 to +5 BUT the Distance weapon is under Special Abilities and all have no listed "types like enhancement, inherent, luck", ect...

even though they use the bonus from the "Enhancement Cost Factor" to determine what you can place
