If I was leading a party and saw the barb shooting someone, I'd make sure to take his name down and never allow him in again.
If you want to do some better ranged damage, get the Gnollish bow for the strength feat when the situation arises. Otherwise you're doing a disservice to your party, not to mention your class.
