Just for comparison, the rules as writ are:

1. If the (modified) chance to hit, when attempting to fire without
aiming, is below the weapon's snap-shot number, apply an additional -4.
2. If it is above the SS number, resolve with (modified) chance.
3. If the character spends a turn aiming, they gain the weapon's accuracy
bonus and are not subject to the SS penalty.
4. The character gains an additional +1 for the second, third, and fourth
turns of aiming - a maximum bonus of +3 plus Acc.

Overall archers will be receiving quite an improvement.
