Actual question; Say we have a kasatha ranger
You can fire multiple arrows at a single target.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Point-Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: When making a full-attack action with a bow, your first attack fires two arrows. If the attack hits, both arrows hit. Apply precision-based damage (such as sneak attack) and critical hit damage only once for this attack. Damage bonuses from using a composite bow with a high Strength bonus apply to each arrow, as do other damage bonuses, such as a ranger's favored enemy bonus. Damage reduction and resistances apply separately to each arrow.
So.... Would you use manyshot twice or once?

The rules call out the first shot not the first shot per arrow but there are special rules allowing a kasatha to dual wield bows so if you are actually playing a kasatha you might want to look at that.
Thanks for clarification, I was wondering if the "With a bow" meant each bow you individually carry

You could read it two ways:
1) That the first shot with any specific bow. But I doubt this is then intent. That's some pretty crazy reading that I think the context of the full-action shows they only meant once per action.
2) That manyshot applies, only, to the first shot with a bow you make a turn. This seems the more reasonable conclusion, the feat was (probably) written wth then assumption that most people wouldn't be using more than one bow.
Again, see how it's possible to read it as "per bow" but I believe the context makes it clear they only meant to allow it on the first shot per full-Attack.
