A little late but one class that can make a very good archer is a swashbuckler. The only downside is only being able to place one profiency slot in any ranged weapons, but the damage and thaco bonuses they get do apply to ranged weapons and will make up for it. If you did go that route i would advise using shortbows in order to use tuigan and get decent attacks per round without being hasted or using whirlwinds.
