Can the attacks triggered by combat patrol be used to make ranged attacks? Normally you don't threaten with a ranged weapon, but combat patrol increases your threatened area. So would it effectively increase your threatened area with ranged attacks from 0ft to 5ft?
Combat Patrol:
As a full-round action, you may set up a combat patrol, increasing your threatened area by 5 feet for every 5 points of your base attack bonus. Until the beginning of your next turn, you may make attacks of opportunity against any opponent in this threatened area that provokes attacks of opportunity. You may move as part of these attacks, provided your total movement before your next turn does not exceed your speed. Any movement you make provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Ranged attacks don't have a 0' threatened area, they simply do not threaten at all.
