Now, lets look at the same fighter using Point Blank Shot & Rapid Shot with a bow;BAB +1, +4 Dex, and we'll assume a target within 30' so +1 from PBS for a total of +6.Fires his first shot at +6 and Rapid Shots a second at +4.  Since he isn't concerned about reloading, he can move or perform any other move equivalent action.  After careful consideration (and taking into account the fact that the Special under Quick Shot is somehow bogus) I see nothing wrong with these two feats as written.Edit; damn typos</blockquote>
