Not a lot of threads started on the topic, and I've been playing around since the ACG came out, so I thought I would start a thread put my ideas out there and generate conversation.
So the intent of this build is to primarily rain death on what ever my animal companion is chewing on, but to be useful in situations where archery isn't viable.

The feat advancement would be:

3 Rapid Shot
5 Deadly Shot
7 Power Attack
9 Manyshot
11 Clustered Shot
13 ?
15 Improved Precise Shot
The teamwork feats would be
3 Coordinated Shots
6 Enfilading Fire
9 Lookout
12 Outflank
15 ?
Early on using the Hunter Tactics to switch in and out the various share spell feats or lookout.
Stat Bonuses:
4 Strength (for composite long bow, and extra damage if wielding sword in two hands)
8 Dex
12 Dex
16 Wisdom
The missing feat is eye for talent, adding +2 strength to the companion.
Basically the companion really doing a lot of the work here, the hunter should be keeping his ally alive, and taking advantage of the teamwork feats to shoot the thing his ally is flanking. Power attack and outflank eventually making him modestly effective in direct melee, or at worst a boon to his ally. I considered either using the extra human feat for early access to Rapid shot, but your are still stuck waiting for cluster/manyshot so you end up moving everything up bit and using the level 7 feat for something like toughness. Or early on Extended Animal Focus is good, but loses value over time.
So thoughts?
As do I. Whatcha using for a pet, did I miss that...?
