Equipment
The best weapon on c-grade is the Eminence Bow, best SA probably Cheap Shot. The best weapon on b-grade is the Bow of Peril, best SA probably Quick Recovery. The best weapon on a-grade is the Soul Bow, best SA probably Quick Recovery.

On c-grade the Plated Leather Set would be a great tool, as this one gives more damage and, being a ranged class, the PR has less requirement for maximum P.Def than others. Otherwise the Drake Leather Set would give a nice bonus on M.Def. On b-grade the Doom Light Set with its Dex bonus is probably best. On a-grade the Majestic Light Set has been made specifically for archers; stay away from Nightmare as its main Bonus, a small Vampiric Rage, doesnt work on bows.

Adventuring
Archers are loners just like wizards. Combining them with their own class or with nukers works however well. Adding one of the elders for buffs, additional mana and a lot of healing power in emergency situations will improve such combos even more; with nukers the Shillien Elder with Empower is better, for archers alone the Elven Elder with Party Return, Agility and Resist Shock is to be prefered.

In normal parties archers can be integrated much like nukers. They have to be protected from being attacked by a tank using hate aura and aggression, and they should delay their attacks a bit from the rest of the group so the mob really has time to trigger on the tank.
