Hello, I am seeking some advice on the best way of going about
making a character that is efficient with a Compolsite longbow without taking any serious hits to my Two Handed Fighter build.
A lot of battles so far would be greatly enhanced if I had a better range alternative. We use some Re-train variant and as of now I am able to redo most of my feats to help me with this situation.
I am planning on doing a Crit. Build for my Fighter. Would taking a couple of minor range feats really hinder me in the future?
Looking for advice and some better/alternative route to follow.
Thank you

power attack, cleave, furious focus, weapon focus (greatsword), weapon specialization (greatsword)
Would it be stupid to skip furious focus and cleave exchange for point blank shot and rapid shot?
thanks
I would say forget cleave and take point blank shot. It is not that great feat but then later you can take rapid shot and maybe even later manyshots.
Don't forget Precise Shot, which ranks pretty high up there in the "must-have" ranged feats. +4 to hit? Yes, please!
Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm kind of thinking of the Treantmonk switch-hitter ranger who is basically an archer with Quickdraw and Power Attack. NullVOID's character is a two-hand fighter who wants the biggest bang for his buck in archery (that is: greatest effectiveness to feat ratio) so he's probably looking for a two or three feat investment.
That all said, Nicos is right: Cleave isn't really that useful but PBS will open up the archery feats like Rapid Shot (you want Rapid Shot if you want to be an effective archer). You'll probably want Deadly Aim, too. As a matter of fact, PBS, Rapid Shot, and Deadly Aim should pretty much do for a secondary range character.
