A couple of staples for any archery based ranger will be Efficient Quiver, and Handy Haversack. Fill the quiver full of arrows, extra bows. Keep even more arrows in bundles in the haversack.
As for weapons you are probably already doing decent damage so should be looking for other abilities on the bow. Seeking will avoid miss chance so would be a good investment. Ghost Touch will be helpful vs. Incorporeal targets like many undead. Holy will not only do extra damage vs. Evil but also bypass DR. of a lot of creatures. Your bow should be enchanted with things that will be hard to find in arrows.
Bracers of Archery are always good, but probably lesser will have to do unless you want to blow your whole budget.
An Oathbow can be devastating but has a lot of restrictions that may lower its usefulness.
Belt of Dexterity would also be a good investment.
Don't bother with shot on the run. As an archer you should be standing your ground and taking a full attack. Pinpoint Targeting will be much better. If you get a Seeking bow you will also not need improved precise shot.
Seeking applies to more than just concealment. You do not even have to be able to see them.
This ability can only be placed on a ranged weapon.
The weapon veers toward its target, negating any miss chances that would otherwise apply, such as from concealment. The wielder still has to aim the weapon at the right square. Arrows mistakenly shot into an empty space, for example, do not veer and hit invisible enemies, even if they are nearby.
Kind of agree with you on Pinpoint Targeting being a little weak, but I think shot on the run is worse.
Boon companion is the feat that boost your animal companion. Good advice since it makes the wolf large at his current level. Must be too early in the morning for me to have missed that one. Good call.
Ditch the wand of cure moderate wounds, and just stock up on wands of cure light wounds. you can get 6 wands of cure light for the price of a single cure moderate. use the extra cash for more arrows or other items. Healing should be taking place out of combat unless you are trying to save a character from death. Even then it should be the cleric doing it not a ranger.

Actually... I would probably flip it and get a holy bow then buy seeking and dragon bane arrows also. Holy is great against any evil target, while seeking and dragon bane are a much smaller subset of your enemies. You would just fire the most appropriate arrows for the specific enemy.
Heck, if your GM allows buying small batches of arrows think about getting bane arrows, 10-20 each of Dragon, Evil Outsider, Magical Beast, and Undead. That's not going to last you a long time but it will let you put a lot of hurt onto a key target in a hurry.
