Skirmisher: (Scout Archetype)
At 8th level, whenever a scout moves more than 10 feet in a round and makes an attack action, the attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target was flat-footed. If the scout makes more than one attack this turn, this ability only applies to the first attack. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability. This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.

In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it, albeit at a -5 penalty.

Sneak Attack:
+5d6 precision damage when enemy is denied their Dex bonus to AC, or is flanked.
Improved Two-Weapon Feint: (9th Level Feat)
While using Two-Weapon Fighting to make melee attacks, you can forgo your first primary-hand melee attack to make a Bluff check to feint an opponent. If you successfully feint, that opponent is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC until the end of your turn.
You have low stats and need to boost your Dex as soon as you can. Take improved initiative sooner and that will almost guarantee you going first every time! The low wisdom and charisma is going to kill you, unless you stick to the shadows and back stab.
One thing you might want to do is take a level or two in fighter and that will give you acesss to every weapon (just about) and an extra feat or two.
I'm not seeing the point of the sniper archetype mixed in with your TWF style. Am I missing something?

What I should have made clear was that I actually have been playing this build and am at level 3. I initially wanted wanted to build around the idea of using skirmisher to move 10ft then shoot arrows from a distance, all with sneak attack. I then started to move away from that, but it was too late, I had already picked the Sniper archetype, and my GM wouldn't let me change... so I'm stuck with it.

Looks like you have something like this going on. It's a shame that your GM won't let you switch out archetypes, especially at this low a level. However, Scout is really an awesome archetype.
I agree with iron will, however for rogue talents if you want to still use sniper and scout you might want to look to a pistol for long range sniping -- you can take the talents to get the training and amateur gunslinger(take quick clear) and gunsmith as well as proficiency.
You can delay getting the gunpowder talents until later in the build since it won't really fully work until you have the 8th level ability from scout as well as rapid reload and alchemical cartridges.
