I did notice that when i check my stats in my charactor sheet I get a plus 4 to attack with the bow ... 2 for second level and 2 for dex bonus..when I shoot the bow in combat i only get a + 2 for some reason.

This is due to the fact that the enemy is moving when you shoot with your ranged weapon. The full attack bonus is applied when the target is flat footed (aka not moving), unfortunately ranged weapons suffer a -2 to attack when the target is moving. (If I am off in my explaination, please someone correct me)

Sorry to go off topic.
