Improved precise shot or friendly fire maneuvers might be what you're after.
Edit: no, I misunderstood. Try reckless aim.

Mythic Improved Precise Shot (Mythic)
How is this in any way what the OP asked for?
As for the OP, why isn't precise shot on the table? What are you looking for and why?

OP is looking for a feat that causes you to sometimes accidentally hit allies when shooting into melee. I don't know the "why" but Precise Shot doesn't do that.

Linkified since this looks like a valid answer.
I think the OP was thinking of either the Friendly Fire feat or Reckless Aim feat.
However, one is a Teamwork feat, and most players are loathe to spend a feat on Teamwork feats, let alone one that would hurt them when employed by their "friend".
Reckless Aim is the next closest thing, but doesn't specifically target your ally but someone adjacent to the enemy.
It's exceptionally unlikely you can make the Friendly Fire feat work OP, unless you have a friend who really doesn't mind being your pin cushion.
Might work if the pincushion has some other ability that triggers on being wounded, I suppose.
Or if you're the pincushion...
Charnel Soldiers and like 5 skeletons with slings that stands 400-500 ft away would have a very poor attack bonus (nonproficiency, range increment, in melee), but every failed skeleton attack would make the target provoke an AoO.

It is a betrayal feat meaning it's intended to be used by villians that can "convince" their minions to also take said feat, or by cavaliers/inquisitors that are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
“Teamwork” is a relative term. Many villains don’t concern themselves with collateral damage and make their plans with exceeding ruthlessness. Presented below are several teamwork feats with the common theme of reaping a benefit at your allies’ expense. All of these feats refer to an initiator and an abettor. The initiator is the one activating the feat (also referred to as “you”) and the abettor is an ally who also has the feat and whose presence and (perhaps unwilling) sacrifice allows the feat to take effect. Choosing one of these feats effectively grants consent for an ally with the same feat to harm you in combat, and vice versa, but evil characters are often willing to take big risks to get the upper hand. Some recruit devoted minions specifically to use in this way. Characters with class abilities granting allies access to teamwork feats (such as cavaliers or inquisitors) can select these teamwork feats normally, but allies who are granted these feats can use the feats only as initiators, not as abettors. An inquisitor could not grant an ally the Ally Shield feat and then use the ally as a shield, for example, but he could allow that ally to use him as a shield.
But I agree with others. Reckless Aim and Friendly Fire both sound like the feat the OP is referencing. Oddly, both of them require precise strike meaning you have to be trained in not hitting your ally before you can have a chance of hitting your ally.
Edit: I just noticed the Friendly Fire feat doesn't require PBS meaning hunters can grab this feat and give it to their animal companions.
You might let the vampire wear a swarmsuit in daylight. It takes "direct sunlight" to hurt a vampire, which is very open to interpretation.

I think your comment got misdirected and was intended for the conversation going on here
Ha! Indeed it did. Whoops

I realize that this was not directed at me - but at first glance I thought someone was looking for me...
and there is always the Discovery - Healing Bomb.
Thrown into a melee between my (living) allies, and my (undead) enemies I have always been bothered by why I suffer the penalty for shooting into the melee. I really don't care which I hit, as it will heal my Allies and damage the undead...
Shooting or Throwing into a Melee: If you shoot or throw a ranged weapon at a target engaged in melee with a friendly character, you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll.
A grid intersection is not “engaged in melee with a friendly character”, so attacking it doesn’t suffer from the penalty.
This is why alignment is so important in the game. It imposes a structure of behavior on players and their PCs instead of just letting chaos reign. All in my most humble and unworthy opinion, of course.
