Detect and Ranged Attacks

(And thus use the rules for "Attacker cannot see his foe, but knows his location for sure" under Visibility in basic 394.)

In the specific case where you Detect in turn 1 and shoot in turn 2, that seems plausible.

If you have multiple actions per turn, or have Detect with reduced time or Reflexive, or (if you accept my suggestion) are going with -2 to Detect and -2 to the attack roll, I think you're not shooting blind.
