The Deepwood sniper (MotW pg.52) is a 3.0 class, and the Order of the bow Initiate (CW pg.68) is a 3.5 class.

Advantages of a Deepwood sniper:
Keen arrows, range increment bonus +10 ft./level, safe poison use, magic weapon, which you all gain in the first 3 lvl's.

After that you will get concealment reduction 10,20,30% (so you can better take the improved precise shot feat, which discarts all penaltys exept total concealment). You will also het consistent aim what means you can reroll your attackroll once a day.
Then there is the consisten aim, if you take a fullround action, and the target doesn't move more than 5 feet during that period you will get a +2 to attack.

So I would take only the first 3 lvl's of the deepwood sniper, and than go on with the ranger progression (which I did with my deepwood sniper).

I didn't play the Order of the Bow Initiate myself, so I can't tell you much about that one (just find out for yourself in CW)

MotW = Masters of the Wild
CW = Complete Warrior
