I had this issue come up in a game session last night.

One of the villians tried to sunder a pc's bow. I went with the oppsoed attack rolls and let the pc use their attack roll with the bow but it seems strange to me because the attack roll for a ranged weapon isn't really based on the same skills pulling it out of the way of a melee attack. With a sword, mace etc it make alot more sense. I feel like the carried object rules might be erring too far on the side of the sunderer though. Anyway I'm just looking for opinions or RAW I may have missed that makes this more clear.
Thanks.

Treat it like an improvised melee weapon, with a -4 to attack.

Also, unfortunately by the RAW, it is very easy to sunder bows.
