Hi I was hopeing for a little help, I want to build a Character good with a Bow

Looking to incorparate Fighter/WM and a Further Class I presume it'll be best to use Human to avoid an XP penalty but as I've never really man a Bow using character before im struggling ?

Weaponmaster is melee only benefit, so a bow weaponmaster is out. Probably best to go fighter10/Wiz1/Arcane Archer29 , elf or half elf. These guys are the best archers in the game. Dealing 1d8+21 with a standard longbow. Another build would be to utilise sneak attack ie Fighter 5/ Rogue 35 for something like 1d8 +6(normal) with 18d6 sneak damage for a succesful sneak, reduced to 17d6 if you take the cheesy 1 level of shadowdancer. Other alternatives could be the Cleric zen archer that uses buffs to increase damage.
