3 arrows for the king

[Theocrat]

Hi all -
I've got a question regarding the 3 Arrows for the King supplement by Jason M Parent and published by EN World.
The Archer class has a lvl 1 BAB of 0, but it's special ability is a Primary Weapon +2 benefit (it must be a bow). So at lvl 1 the BAB is 0 but Bow is +2.
At lvl 2, BAB is 1 and Primary Weapon is +2.
At lvl 4 the BAB is +3, yet the Primary Weapon is still +2 and doesn't increase to +3 until lvl 5.
So from this I am assuming that the BAB and Primary Weapon bonuses stack. Thus at lvl 4 the attack bonus with a bow is +5.
That's part of the quesiton, making sure I'm correct in allowing the BAB and Primary Weapon bonuses to stack.
Next, in the case of the Many Shot Feat, the required BAB is +6. But if I allow the BAB and Primary Weapon bonus to stack, could that be used as a attack bonus to qualify for the feat?
To get +6/+1 the archer would be 8th lvl, however, at 5th lvl the BAB is +3 and with the Primary Weapon at +3, the +6 attack bonus is met.
I can understand not being able to use this logic for a feat that didn't work with the primary weapon, but does my fuzzy logic work? Or only under a G.W. Bush scenario?
Thanks for your input.

The bonusses (boni) stack. That way, an archer always is on par with a fighter as long as he's using a bow.
This is evan mentioned in 3 arrows for the king, IIRC.

They do NOT stack for BAB purposes. But there's some ability that gives an extra bow attack, yes? That's what once again keeps the archer from being inferior t oa fighter when it comes to bows.

Yeap. Still, the archer class is screwed for Manyshot because of the low BAB...
