Actually, I'd do it a little differently. THe sneak attack is tough to get, so I wouldn't worry about it. I'd take Peerless Archer to third level for the Powershot ability. Deepwoodsniper I'd take to 10th to get the keen arrows, the crit increased to x5, and true strike once a day. Then Ranger to level 5 (for the Hunter's Mercy spell and Favored enemy Dragon). And then 2 levels of Fighter.
This way you don't have to worry about getting in close for the shot (actually with deepwoodsniper you can fire from 375ft with no range penalty (110 base+ 55 farshot+100 deepwoodsniper ability+110 distance bow)). Use Hunter's Mercy (turns any hit into a crit) and true strike. Miss dragon on a nat one, don't confirm crit on nat one (so 90.25% chance of a critical). That would be 1d8 +4 (mighty bow) +5 (magicaarrow) +5 (Magicbow) +20 (Powershot), so 35-42 damage. Then x5 or minimium 175, max 210.
How's that look? I need to bathe, I feel dirty now
Dang, I just reread Hunter's Mercy. It turns your next bow attack into a hit and it threatens. You just have to roll to confirm. So about 95% chance he's blowing the dragon out of the sky, 5% just 40 or so points of damage. My Peerless Archer has three levels right now....I'm almost tempted to go Deepwood Sniper the rest of the way.
