A PC caught me off guard by going the archery route, and went up as a human fighter/ranger. He's level 11, and he's got no more feats to take. So the question is, what now? He's planning on going up ranger and his combat style has nothing left to give him when he hits 14th and 18th level ranger. Two suggestions I got was just make the combat style regular bonus feats like a fighter, and the other was let him choose another ranger combat style and start from scratch again.
What's my option here? Anyone else run into this yet?
There are always more feats to take, unless I am misunderstanding you. If I could see his build I could make suggestions for him.

Combat style at ranger level 14 and 18 won't give him anything further, unless you depart from RAW and allow him to start on a second combat style, take combat feats or something similar. He still gets the other benefits of a ranger of his level, or could take fighter levels and fighter-specific feats instead.
The feat in Ultimate Combat that helps to bypass DR is also not bad.
Clustered Shots (Combat)
You take a moment to carefully aim your shots, causing them all to strike nearly the same spot.
Prerequisites: Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: When you use a full-attack action to make multiple ranged weapon attacks against the same opponent, total the damage from all hits before applying that opponent's damage reduction.
Special: If the massive damage optional rule is being used (Core Rulebook 189), that rule applies if the total damage you deal with this feat is equal to or exceeds half the opponent's full normal hit points (minimum 50 points of damage).

So he's a fighter 1 / ranger 10? and has taken all 8 feats on the basic list?
What about Point Blank Master that states a ranger can grab it at 6th with a prereq of weapon focus?
Honestly, if he's out of style feats, allowing WF in a bow as a style feat wouldn't be stretching things too far. (just not strictly RAW)
Edit:Parting Shot also has the ranger special.
Has anyone compiled a list of which feats have these specials but are not listed in the standard class entries? (be it ranger, monk or otherwise)
He's got two flaws from the new Pathfinder flaw book (3rd party) so he's got feats from that too. He maxed out pretty fast.
what's his feat list?
and his level mix?

He's a human fighter 1/ranger 9 with two flaws and will be taking Pinpoint Targeting as his ranger 10 feat. He has Dodge as a feat, and Mobility is a feat that can be placed on armor for a +1. So for his 11 HD feat, he'll be taking Shot on the Run. He's also got enough money to buy a set of goggles he found that give him Far Shot.
I don't have his character on me, but I know he said he was short three combat feats from the Archery build, and planned on having them all before 12 HD. So the problem is what to take at ranger 14.
