I have a lvl 8 hunter with a tiger companion. I wanted to make it more of a ranged attacker but I'm having problems with some feats.

I am thinking on using Pack flanking to get the benefit of Coordinated shot and/or Enfilading fire. Though my GM says no due to the rule of flank only applies for melee attacks, but here's my argument.

The benefit of Pack flanking says:

When you and your companion creature have this feat, your companion creature is adjacent to you or sharing your square, and you both threaten the same opponent, you are both considered to be flanking that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning.

Both enfilading fire and coordinated shot require to have an ally (my companion) threatening and flanking an opponent.

So, if my companion is by my side and both of us ARE NOT in melee with an opponent but ready to attack it, can I get the benefit of the feat to do a ranged attack with either Coordinated shot/Enfilading fire (or both at the same time, if I had them)?

My take on "threatening" is: If I am facing and ready to attack an opponent, then I am threatening it.

Please help me clarify this, as if this doesn't work as I am suggesting here, then my Hunter is definitely not good for ranged attacks, nor melee due to my stats.

Hello all, I really need your help here.

I am playing with a 7th level Wizard with a bonded object and I want to add to it some spells with charges/day; based on the description of the bonded object on page 78 of the PHB:
" A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat."

So I want to add:
Cat's grace 10 charges/day
Gravity bow 10 charges/day
Windy escape 10 charges/day

To calculate costs I based on table 15-29 from page 550 PHB.

Bonus spell - Spell level squared × 1,000 gp
Charges per day - Divide by (5 divided by charges per day)

So a 1st lvl spell (gravity bow and windy escape) would be each: 1000 / (5/10) = 2000gp
2nd lvl spell (Cat's grace) would be: 4000 / (5/10) = 8000gp
BUT since creating an item costs half the price, prices would be 1000gp & 4000gp

I do fulfill requirements in GP and caster level to add these spells to my bonded object, buy my GM is saying NO because of some "rule in the master's book" that I don't know about and I'm getting quite mad.

So my questions are:
1 - Can I add these spells as I intend?
2 - If no, WHY NOT?
2a - And if not, WHY IN DANTE'S 9 CIRCLES OF HELL does the friggin book says A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats? if I won't be allowed to do what I'm intending here.

P.S. If you want some context, our party is a 6lvl Bard/1lvl cleric, one 7th lvl fighter, one 7th lvl druid and me a 7th lvl wizard and we recently were abandoned by our other 7th lvl fighter, meaning that future encounters may be a bit tough. So with the spells I want to add to my bonded object, I am planning to use my Wizard as an archer as well.

IF ANY ADMIN OR PAIZO MEMBER CAN CLARIFY THIS FOR ME WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
