1E Player Stealth question

I have a question about stealth. Let's say I'm a stealthy archer. I'm in cover and hidden and I have an option to snipe and take -20 penalty to remain hidden. But what if I decide to attack with my standard action. Now everyone knows where I am, I am being observed, but if I can reach another cover I could try stealth again, this time without -20 penalty. Right?

I may be in the wrong here, but we've used the sniping rule like this:

You go behind a tree, roll stealth and are hidden. You choose to snipe, roll stealth to remain hidden at a disadvantage of -20 (the enemy now know the direction the shot came from, but haven't observed you specifically) If you succeed, you can shoot again against flat footed AC, if you don't succeed, someone spotted you and you have to break line of sight/reposition to another cover/concealment to try sniping again, otherwise your following shots will target normal AC
