But there is ANOTHER prestige class ability that lets you threaten a creature in 15ft with your bow, and take AoO's against them.

But it comes from a different archer prestige class, not Order of the Bow.

Also a Ranger/Wizard spell that does same thing in Complte Adventurer.

Off the top of my head, there is Peerless Archer from the Forgotten Realms book Silver Marches, but most DMs will not allow it if it's not a FR campaign, and many DMs will still not allow it (even in FR) as it borders on rediculously overpowered. Yeah, Threatening with your Bow and being able to power attack with it doesn't seem bad, but in practice it gets absolutely *LUDICROUS* really fast.
