The Archer

One note from Daerien, Avenging Shackles may not work with Distant Vengeance . Of the "may be used as an XBA", only Eldritch Strike actually says "counts as an MBA". So if Avenging Shackles doesn't count as an RBA, then Distant Vengeance won't allow you to roll twice. But they were in the same issue of Dragon, and it seems that it's intended to work.

Play Notes

You're a normal heroic avenger, before switching to bows suddenly at 11th or 12th level. The melee attacks are focused for mobility... after 12th they can help you get out of the way of someone trying to lock you down. The daily powers are mostly encounter long buffs that will help you against one target.

Because you're not in their face, monsters may be preoccupied and actually move away from you. Pay attention for that, and add in more damage next round.

Your Spike Damage capacity is basically completely missing between switching to the Hand Crossbow and finding your Epic Destiny. Sorry. It's decent outside of that range though, and your DPR is fine throughout.

Customization Notes

A Favored Soul gives up +1 to hit, but gains real flight... which can turn decent ranged attacks into a "I Win" button.
