Great, thank you two. I added them to the list so that when more people read it they won't get re-posted.

What's the general idea/concept of those 3 PrCs btw? (Deepwood Sniper is well.. a sniper. It's more about heavy hits and range. We all know Arcane Archer.. Order of the Bow Initiate is about precision aiming and accuracy)

Peerless Archer is about being the best Archer there is, ever. It gets some amazing combat abilities. It gains a slow-progression Sneak Attack (+4d6 over 10 levels), an increasing ability to ignore cover and concealment, at third level it gains the ability to make Power Attacks with ranged weapons, it gains the ability to craft magical arrows (using the normal magic creation rules, but not requiring any extra feats or spellcasting ability), and at 8th level it gains the ability to threaten an area at 10 feet, as if he were wielding a melee weapon with reach, thus allowing him to make AoO's with his bow. Click the archer link in my sig to see some of what he can do.

The Cragtop archer is about getting long-distance shots. He gains an ability to shoot up to 15 range increments, rather than 10, and he gains an ability to, as a standard action, fire an arrow up to his full range (ie - all 15 range increments) without taking a penalty for range (ie- the normal -2 penalty per additional range increment). If you follow that link in my sig, near the bottom of the first post there is a link to a web preview of this class.

I don't yet own Champions of Ruin, so I can't tell you a lot about the JotWW, but I know it gets medium BAB, 1-4 level spell casting (including the nifty new arrow spells in that book), he gains a Close Combat Shot-like ability somewhere around 6th level, and he also gains an ability to just randomly add a +10 bonus to his attack roll once or twice a day.

I just remembered there is another archery feat, found in Underdark that gives a +2(?) bonus to attacks when the target is denied his Dex bonus to AC. I'm away from my books, so I can't give you the name of the feat at the moment.
