Cavalier Question

I am planning on building a Cavalier with Musketeer and Luring Cavalier archetypes. My question pertains to choosing an order that works with these archetypes, because most of the orders I think fit my character's personality make heavy reference to melee attacks. I like Order of the Dragon and think that the abilities of this order match my play style, however the order's challenge ability gives a bonus to melee attacks when the cavalier is threatening an enemy. As I am going to be using a musket I don't want to threaten enemies but don't want to lose full use of my abilities when using them. Is their a way to use Order of the Dragon with a ranged character or is their a better order that I can and should use? I would like the edict of the order to closely emulate the edict of the Order of the Dragon. The other order I have been looking at is Order of the Lion and seeing that I will be playing this character in Kingmaker it is a good fit, except for the reliance on Charisma. I don't know what my stats are going to look like yet as our group rolls our stats and I have not done so. I was planning on having Charisma be my dump stat, but I can always dump Wisdom and just not take the Amateur Gunslinger feat. I am planning on taking the Human ability that would give my character Skill Focus instead of the bonus feat. To recapture the intent of this post, I am looking for a Cavalier Order that can be used from ranged other than Order of the Lion? If anyone has a house rule that they have used to allow Order of the Dragon to work from ranged and wouldn't mind sharing it that could work for my group too. Thanks for any help.
