ok. there are ways at ranged your AB will be lowered. if a creature gets KD your AB drops. if allies get between you and your target. AB drops. concealment, for some reason, effects my ranged much more than it does when i am melee.
IDK if 47 is enough. i think you will have a hard time hitting targets at higher levels against bigger bosses. and i also feel like your dmg output is gonna drop too much. but i am not knowing all.

Is 'frontline archer' useful and really worth 2 feats ?
Frontline Archer
Prerequisite: Dexterity 15, Weapon Focus (longbow), Lightning Reflexes
Use: Selected.
You may use your Longbow to do a Melee Trip attack. If successful, you follow up on the trip attempt with a melee Longbow attack, which does damage equal to a Club of the same size. If the bow is magical, it is treated as a magic weapon for overcoming Damage Reduction. You gain a +4 bonus on your trip attempt as if you have Improved Knockdown. (but not another +4 if you actually have it). Using this feat starts the cooldown on Knockdown.

not tested. might be. do you foresee any expendable feats that could be replaced. having a KD would be nice to gain some distance again if you're one on one with an opponent that is beating you down. i would rather just use something that is more reliable though. (wand of DD) would be effective for a similar role.
