I'm assumin you don't have 70 range so Im not going to suggest black d'hide. As for head maybe a robin hood or somethin if you have the money. Possibly one of those ranging fremmy helms.

Don't wear dragon medium or dragon boots for ranging. Even if you have nothing else to wear in those spots, just wear nothing.

The helm spot: Archer helmet, Zammy coif (or other god ones have same stats I think too) (not sure if the requirement is 70 range), or robin if you have the money.
The boots spot: Snakeskin boots or ranger boots if you have the money.
Cape: Ava's accumulator from animal magnetism - even if you're safe spotting with something in the way, it still gives a range bonus
Gloves: I suggest Doing recipe for disaster and getting barrows gloves. I believe the dragon gloves or rune gloves offer better bonuses than vambs too.
Not sure of any other rings that give bonuses, but if you can afford it, and archer ring can be used. Otherwise wealth/life/duelling etc is fine I think.

I wouldn't recommend the seercull (?) for training. Either rune crossbow and bolts or knives (possibly darts) would be better to train with. That opens up a spot for shield, which can be used by an unholy (zammy) book for best range bonus, or book of balance (guthix) as cheaper + range/defence split bonus.

Well warren said most things but for a bow try using a bone crossbow and a guthix/zammy book.
The bone crossbow and bolts are VERY cheap and it makes up for the somewhat slower rate of training.

Try upgrading that ammy to a fury if you have the money.
Switch to a ring of wealth if you're safespoting to get rarer drops to help pay for arrows/bolts.
I'd suggest selling the seercrull bow for better equipement seeing as it's only really useful in castle wars to attack mages.

Warren: does a sara book really give a offensive ranged bonus? I though just guthix and zammy did.

No, woops. I mixed up Zammy and Sara for some reason. XD

A good idea would be to get 70 range. I need to get it to. Black D'hide is a lot better than red.

Dont wear the helm, get a femmy helm

If you are going to get hit with melee attacks, wear dboots and barrows (or any RFD) gloves

ARcher ring or ROW

and...get a fury
