building a blind archer?

[sr123]

Lazer Pony is a (redundant) super hero who fires insanely powerful lasers from his eyes. The lasers destroy everything... including his cornea... hence he is permanently blind.

Blindness affords him many advantages. For example, hot women fawn over him because he is the only person who is ostensibly not judging them on their looks (which he does anyway). He also periodically grabs his more-well-endowed leaguemates's breasts because he "thought he was getting two overripe grapefruit from the kitchen."

However, unlike the "Lazer Stallion" of most other realities, he hasn't really been able to manage the whole "heightened senses" or "general competence" or "fear of spiders" thing. Hilarity ensues.


So that's one subverting color of the blind marksman. Or you could go in the Ol' Blind Brainy Eagle-Eye Pete direction

So I had this idea to try creating an archer who was blind; it seemed cool for roleplaying.
Someone who is purposefully blind (wears a blindfold) since eyesight is too limiting.

So far I can only come up with using zen archery, since it let's you attack targets you can hear but not see.
Also, I'm in a core only 3.5 E6 campaign, however pretty much all feats are available.
Any suggestions?

If it's just for role-playing why not handle it through flavour? Just say your character is blind and his other senses let him function normally.
