[3.5] What is your favorite Ranged/Archery build

[Biggus]

For a straightforward archer (assuming 3.0 material is allowed):

Fighter 1/ Ranger 14/ Deepwood Sniper 2/ Peerless Archer 3

Gets you 4th-level Ranger spells, all 3 Ranger archery feats, 1 Fighter bonus feat, keen arrows, x4 crit with bow, power shot (ranged Power Attack)

Feats required for prestige classes: Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Weapon Focus

Ranger bonus feats: Rapid Shot, Manyshot, Improved Precise Shot, Track, Endurance

Other feats: Improved Rapid Shot, Woodland Archer, Knowledge Devotion

Key spells (all from SpC except Arrowsplit from CoR): Arrow Mind (immediate action to cast, obviates the need to take Order of the Bow Initiate 2 to use bow in melee without provoking AoOs), Hunter's Mercy (next hit this round is an automatic crit, synergizes nicely with x4 crit multiplier), Find the Gap (first attack each round is a touch attack), Arrow Storm (attack up to 20 targets within 185ft as a full-round action), Arrowsplit (first attack each round splits into 1d4+1 arrows)

Bow (assuming you have someone around to cast Greater Magic Weapon): +1 Force Splitting Seeking Collision Magebane composite longbow
