Notes
Hostile players are Immune to this spell, as with any other threat modifying ability.
This spell is Arcane-based and as such all arcane-immune mobs will be immune to it.
Talent improvement
The [Hawk Eye] Survival Talent will increases the range of your ranged weapons by 2 yards per rank (3 ranks total).
Tips and tactics
It is common for new hunters to underestimate the usefulness of this shot in a raid.
First of all, this shot is useful in a 
[Misdirection] Combo. Aimed Shot, Distracting Shot, and Arcane Shot form a good combo to Misdirect with. Distracting Shot generates 900 threat at rank 7.
Besides, it is also good practice to have this shot included when you need to get aggro of a certain mob for trapping, or pull away a mob that is heading for / attacking the clothies or healers in the group.
Because it does not deal damage, it is an excellent shot to hold aggro of a mob trapped by 
[Freezing Trap], as you can shoot it at the mob without breaking the trap. Though you will probably need a macro to do this, otherwise the Autoshot that follows will break the trap.
When soloing, this shot can help to pull an enemy away from your pet. If your pet has Cower, use it in conjunction with Distracting Shot when your pet is at low health; it will almost certainly pull aggro to you instead. If you do this, be sure to turn Growl off auto-cast.
