Ok guys I'm playing a Wizard Archer - straight Wizard who uses a bow and arrows when he runs out of spells. I'm thinking of taking the Arcane Strike feat, so I've got a couple of questions:-
Does it apply to my bow or arrows or both at the same time?
Does it apply to multiple shots per round ?
Does the damage bonus stack with magic arrows or a magic bow?
If I use Arcane Strike during my attack does that mean I can't use Point Blank, Precise Shot or Rapid Shot?
Thanks in advance

arcane strike
You draw upon your arcane power to enhance your weapons with magical energy.
Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane spells.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can imbue your weapons with a fraction of your power. For 1 round, your weapons deal +1 damage and are treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. For every five caster levels you possess, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
I suppose it would apply to both your bow and arrows, but if there is something important you are applying it to, it would be situatonal.
Yes it would apply to all attacks in the round.
Yes the damage would stack. The benefit is + damage (untyped) which would stack.
You can use the feats listed in the attack.
I came upon a similar route. I would run out of spells and using a bow as an elf was an easy way to do damage. Good luck!

It applies to both, but bonuses from the same source don't stack.
Does it apply to multiple shots per round ?
It applies to every attack you make in a round.
Does the damage bonus stack with magic arrows or a magic bow
It is untyped, so it stacks with everything except itself.
If I use Arcane Strike during my attack does that mean I can't use Point Blank, Precise Shot or Rapid Shot?
Arcane Strike is a swift action, and you only get 1 swift action per round. PBS, PS, and RS are not swift actions. PBS applies to every attack within 30 ft. Precise Shot applies to every attack into melee. Rapid Shot applies on every full-attack action.
