Hrm, I can't find any specific builds for archers in the index, but I've certainly seen some. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

There are arcane archers and order of the bow initiates (complete warrior, DMG, I think even Complete Adventurer). I'd have to check.
But, the best archer I found is a ranger/fighter/rogue (or scout) build. They get sneak attack, tons of feats, and can make darn fine archers...of course, they're almost worthless at high levels, but so are ALL non-spell-monkey classes.

Solid lead-ins:
Ranger 3 / Fighter 2
Ranger 1 / Fighter 4

Dip you really should take:
Order of the Bow Initiate 2

Then, your preferred mix of:
Peerless Archer
Order of the Bow Initiate (more of it, that is)
Deepwood Sniper

Viola... good archer. :)

That is, of course, for the non-magical variety.
