Bounty Hunter: Ranged Dirty Trick?

[LoneKnave]

Quote:

At 2nd level, anytime a bounty hunter is able to deal sneak attack damage to a studied target, he can instead attempt to hamper the target. The bounty hunter must declare that he's using this ability before the attack roll is made. If the attack hits, it deals damage normally, but instead of rolling sneak attack damage, the bounty hunter can attempt a dirty trick combat maneuver against the studied target as a free action, adding 1 to the combat maneuver check for each die of the bounty hunter's sneak attack damage. This combat maneuver does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Knowing this, could a Bounty Hunter Sneak attack with a bow and then make a dirty trick against the target instead at range?

Sneak Attack

-Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

Dirty Trick

-The GM is the arbiter of what can be accomplished with this maneuver
-The penalty is limited to one of the following conditions: blinded, dazzled, deafened, entangled, shaken, or sickened.

I would say it is possible to use this special attack by Bounty Hunter, to make Dirty Trick from range. You just have to be within 30 ft of the target as per Sneak Attack rules.

I have not found any general rule that says Dirty Trick cannot be done at range.

But then, I also can't find a rule that says you can't Grapple at range. So, not sure how much that's worth.
