Let's say one of my PCs has the Crossbow Mastery feat and fulfills all the requirements for the Manyshot feat. Crossbow Mastery allows him to fire his crossbow as it was a bow as reloading is now a free action for him. In this case would Manyshot work with a crossbow?
No, unfortunately the feat specifies "bow" so you can't use it with any other class of weapons.
Unfortunately "Bow" is not a superset of "Crossbow" even though you might think as much. When in doubt about "does X count as a Y" where X is a weapon and Y is a type of weapon, refer to the fighter weapon group named Y.
Thank you all. I suspected as much but wanted to be 100% sure there was no obscure FAQ allowing for Crossbow Mastery to "unlock" Manyshots for a crossbow user.
Well, no biggie, I think I can make it work anyway using 5 bolts/round instead of 6 at level 11.
Another question: can the "keen" weapon enchantment be placed on a crossbow?

Only a piercing or slashing melee weapon can be made keen. Improved Critical will work though.

I asked because the bolts cause the piercing BUT Heavy Crossbow is listed as a piercing weapon though so it can be argued the "keen" weapon enchantment can be placed on such weapon.
But a crossbow is not a melee weapon.

You are right. I was overthinking this and forgot what was obvious. So... seeking it is I guess and I don't take Improved Precise Shot at 11th lvl.
Thanks!
