For those who dont know Sniper shot is:
Benefit: As a full-round action, you may make an attack that allows you to deal precision-based extra damage to a distance equal to your weapon’s range increment. You may only make this attack with bows and crossbows. Precision-based damage includes sneak attacks, a ranger’s favored weapon bonus, and the damage bonus from the Focused Shot feat. Creatures immune to critical hits and sneak attacks are immune to this extra damage.
Now, with the way the feat. it says i do the additional damage including sneak attack, and with sneak attack, i have to deny their dex bonus to hit them with the damage, that or flank (which with bows, is a no)
so can I still do the sneak attack damage with this feat with a bow, without having to deny their dex bonus?

Sorry to necro a thread, but I figured there's no point in opening another when there's already one here.
I was reading Sniper Shot and it says as the OP said. As a full round action you can make an attack that deals precision damage up to your weapon's range increment.
At first I thought, "oh, all this feat does is increase the range at which you can make sneak attacks."
Upon closer reading I realized a couple of things.
It takes a full-round action, so I don't think you can perform the "snipe" thing from the stealth skill. (move action)
At the end of the ability it says, "Creatures immune to critical hits and sneak attacks are immune to this extra damage." Which, seems to imply that "this extra damage" is a different type of extra damage than you'd normally use.
