Marksmanship

The Marksmanship attribute reflects a ranger's skill when using a bow. This is not a primary attribute and may be used by secondary rangers.

Guild Wars description
Marksmanship increases the damage you do with bows and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a bow. Many Ranger skills, especially bow attack skills, become more effective with higher Marksmanship.
