If your DM is not permitting Mighty bows, then Archery is a much less viable path. Even on my 10th level archer with magic buffs up the +4 dam from the mighty bow is 40-50% of the damage bonus.The weapon mastery feats (from PHB II) at higher level are terrific, but that's not til lvl 9 or 10.
A dip into ranger is a good idea for the bonus feats (archery path), skills and favored enemy. Sounds like the DM won't let you take anything useful for the Favored enemy though.

gr. weapon spec

Imp. rapid shot (CW) - no -2 penalty any more
Imp. precise shot - no miss chance
Sharp Shooter (CW) - something to do with cover
Ranged Weapon Mastery (PH II) - +2 to hit/dmg, +20 ft to range
weapon supremacy (PH II) - Um, you are REALLY good with the bow.
Penetrating shot (PH II) - you shoot an arrow so hard it actually goes through someone

We are pretty tactical so Sharp Shooter is a must in games, the foes always seem to have cover from something. Helps a lot...
Ranged Weapon Mastery from PHBII is just icing on the cake....
Weapon Focus +1 Hit
Weapon Spec +2 Dmg
Greater Wpn Focu +1 Hit
Greater Wpn Spe +2 Dmg
Ranged Wpn Mastery +2 Hit/ +2 Dmg
Improved Rapid Shot....
So at 12th level, you are +4 Hit +6 Dmg and you can make full attacks like..
+16/+16/+11/+6 1d8+6 on every shot before magic is not bad.
That's before Dex, and the bow itself.
