Cragtop Archer & Swiftwing Arrows

Do the Farsight ability of the Cragtop Archer and the benefit of a Swiftwing arrow stack?

"A swiftwing arrow incurs only half the usual penalty for attacking at range (–1 per range increment, rather than –2)."
"A cragtop archer takes only half the normal penalty on ranged attacks per range increment (–1 per range increment, rather than –2)."

My gut reaction was "no, they don't". I'm reading the abilities as a set benefit, rather than an actual bonus per range increment. Since they are both "set" at -1/increment, there is no overlap. Was my gut right?

The key here is not the example explaining the benefit, but the words "usual" and "normal". Both abilities do the exact same thing, reducing the normal penalty by 1/2. They don't stack.
