Ranger Archer Training
The main benefit of being a ranger archer is spells. Of all the professions in the game, rangers get the best archery specific spells. Natural Colors, Phoen's Strength, Camouflage, Self Control, and Sneaking will all give you a significant advantage while aiming and sniping.

There are numerous ways you could train your ranger archer. Below is the minimum training plan I would suggest.

2x Ranged
2x Hiding
1x Perception
1x Armor
1x Ambush
1x Dodge
1x Harness Power
1x Spells

You'll notice that there is only 1x Perception and 1x Ambush in the above training plan. I suggest training atleast a combined 3x in those skills, whether it be 1.5x in each, or 2x in one and 1x in the other.

You should easily be able to train in all of the above skills and have many points left over. With the remaining points you should pick up important secondary skills like Physical Fitness, Combat Maneuvers, Climbing, and Swimming.

If you still have points left over, you should train in what interests you. The choice is really up to you but some suggestions would be, Survival, First Aid, Magic Item Use, or Arcane Symbols. If you just want to be better at combat, you can always invest extra points into more Dodge, Ambush or Perception training.

Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, but at the very least I would go with the minimum training plan. It will make you a viable archer for quite some time.
