Do Archers ever shoot away from the Vault?
The designer confirmed this on BGG, including a 2026 reply, and it matches the rulebook's description of the Archer targeting monsters closer to the Vault.

No. An Archer's ranged shot only targets an adjacent room closer to the Vault, and only if that room holds a monster. If two adjacent routes are equally close, the players choose the one with a monster. If the closer room is empty, the Archer does not shoot a farther room, and it attacks in melee in its own room instead.
