Very good idea, I like the concept. Here is some suggestion to tweak it a little. I'd say put the STR & DEX requirement both to 18 and drop the CON al together. Reason: If your playing an Archer (*sub Ranger Class) STR, DEX and CON tend to be high anyways. Your idea for reducing the +4 to hit penalty you mentioned, adding +5 hitpoints would compliment the 10% resistance and the AC bonus you did a little better than +1 Con ( really +1 Con when your level 15 don't help much. And since you say you find it chapter 6 you will be probably 15th level or more anyways by then so I don't think the level restriction would be applicable. Even 5% Magic Resistance might be not too overpowering, in terms of a little defense for your non-metal armored Archer.
But to enhance the Ranger aspect perhaps have the bow do +4 THAC0 and +4 DAMAGE as you did , but add +2 damage to Ranger's Racial Enemy. This way you can portray your Archer as a Vampire Hunter for example or whatever type of hunter you want.
Just a few thoughts....
