So I'm making an Aasimar paladin as I've got the Blood of Angels book and never got around to making one yet. So it's now or never, as far as PFS is concerned. So I'm throwing one together and looking for feedback.
I'm going with the Divine Hunter archetype to focus on a longbow. And I'm going angel-blooded.
Str: 14 (12 + 2)
Dex: 18
Con: 10
Int: 10
Wis: 8
Cha: 16 (14 + 2)
So feats are
lvl 1: Precise Shot for free from Archetype
1: Point-Blank Shot
3: Rapid Shot
5: Deadly Aim
7: Manyshot
9: ??
11: ??
Thoughts?
I'd recommend going with azata-blooded over angel-blooded for your bloodline since it gives you bonuses to your two most important stats (dexterity and charisma). You've also used 22 points instead of 20, so here's a new stat array you can use:
STR 14
DEX 18 (16 + 2)
CON 12
INT 10
WIS 8
CHA 16 (14 + 2)
I've also written a guide to being an archer paladin, which you can find here.

You're right. I meant 7 wis but apparently hit 8.
Oh! Those say "typical alignment"--I thought those were "if you pick this blood you must be this alignment". But I obviously misread it. Thanks, I'll also check your guide. That is one I hadn't found when I did a search so I'll see what more I can get out of it that I hadn't considered.

A couple things that your guide might benefit from would be weapon suggestions per fame (assuming PFS) (like, how much fame does it take to afford a +1 adaptive composite longbow (3400 gp @ 18 fame)), same for armor, and items that might be especially useful for an archer/paladin. I was also expecting stat suggestions within the guide. If you're interested, I opted for basically the stats you suggested above, but 10/10/10 for con/int/wis as hopefully there will be enough others in the way that I won't need that extra 1hp per lvl and didn't want to dump perception.
The feats I ended up planning for: (point-blank shot for free from archetype)
1: Precise Shot
3: Rapid Shot
5: Deadly Aim
7: Manyshot
9: Clustered Shots (still not sure about this one)
11: Improved Precise Shot
Your feats look good. Like Laakso said, you want clustered shots. Otherwise even DR5 becomes a huge nuissance.
I had a halfling build like this that worked out really well. Playing a halfling had a few really big advantages. First off, the outrider alt racial trait let's you be a better rider. Second, as a small creature you can ride a pony (medium creatures are a lot more maneuver able than large in dungeons )which let's you move 40 feet and still take a full round attack every turn, which you want to be doing frequently with the archery feats. Having a mount made a huge difference, so whether small or medium, consider investing the skill points in ride and handle animal and buying a buddy.
