PFS StandardArcher

Source Player Core 2 pg. 185
Bows of all types are powerful weapons. Generals and hunters alike recognize the power in dealing death from a distance, and from behind safe cover. Those dedicated to the bow—from mysterious cloaked strangers to heartless snipers—are often viewed with a mixture of respect and fear. Like any weapons adept, the archer's skill is forged through experience and constant practice. A true archer becomes one with their bow and is able to make incredible shots with their weapon that most would consider impossible, or at the very least magical.

Additional Feats

Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0
Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.
