Another option would be to either remove the heads or have a cork stuck on the points. You don't have to have GMW at 5th, but if you don't have access to GMW when you are hitting mid levels (6-7) you are going to begin having problems. You might want to look into getting a quiver that casts GMW once or twice a day made. You will not survive with out GMW/Magic arrows once you are getting into the middle levels.I'm not sure the Halberd is a good choice for an archer. After all if they are 10' away, shoot them. That's what you are an archer for. I would recomend something without reach, Greatsword / Axe / Bastard Sword etc. You need it when you are getting up close and personal. If you are any further away from them than 5', shoot them.Ah yes. I can't believe I forgot one of my favorite archer tricks. Unlike melee combatants, if you are mounted, you can move and get a FULL ATTACK in. Since your mount is doing the moving and moves on your phase, you don't have to use up your move equivalent action and can get a full attack off. Note this does require a decent number of levels in riding to work, since there are skill checks involved. But if you have the room to manuver, it can let you pull of tricks like moving into the 30' optimum range, shooting and then moving out of range so they can't get to you. This becomes even more effective at higher levels when you can acquire exotic mounts like a griffon or other flying creature (probably need to take leadership for that though). Check out the mounted combat section of the PHB if you have any questions.</blockquote>
