There are two (not "a lot") of "3.0" prestige classes involved.
1. Deepwood Sniper.
As opposed to broken 3.0 prestige classes like Order of the Bow Initiate, no one has seen the need to update the Deepwood Sniper to 3.5. That does not mean that it's unusable in a 3.5 game. Accordng to the 3.5 Player's Handbook (page 4) "[the] revision is compatible with all existing products, and those products can be used with the revision with only minor adjustments".
2. Peerless Archer.
The Player's Guide to Faerun provides 3.5 updates to "outdated" FR supplements. If something isn't changed, the assumption is that you can use it as-is. Much the same as the 3.5 PHB, PGtF (page 5) explicitly states that "the majority of your existing Forgotten Realms supplements and accessories are still usable in your game". Furthermore, "very little of [the Silver Marches book] is affected by the revisions to the core rulebooks or the material in the Player's Guide to Faerun".

(considers the above posts, and concludes)
As in older editions of the game, it is wise to Leave the Elves Alone, for They Will Shoot You Down.

I guess that ruins that plan. Pity, seemed so simple.
So... how about a couple of level of Assassin and some poison?

Sniper's Shot spell from Complete Adventurer. Swift action, your Death Attack works at range for 1 round.
Other ways to increase bow damage that haven't been mentioned yet (that I noticed) are Ranged Weapon Mastery from PHB II (+2 damage) and Plunging Shot from Masters of the Wild (+1d6 if 30' higher).
As an alternate approach, you could build a rogue with Telling Blow and Arterial Strike, get a bunch of sneak attack damage, then the giant bleeds out unless he can make an untrained Heal check. Sadly, a typical frost giant only needs a 13 to make it, and has about 80 rounds to try, but it COULD happen.
On the other hand, it strikes me that many of the builds here, while effective, don't fit the spirit of this character as described. If he's teaching people how to do this, you'd expect him to get his damage from classes and feats, not equipment. I'd imagine his students feel ripped off if his class consists of "In order to be as awesome a bowman as me, buy all this stuff".
