Strategy[]
This is a ranged equivalent of Power Attack or Piranha Strike, and it's as advised to have as these feats are for melee characters, especially for full BAB classes/builds. Though ranged weapon attackers have other ways to mitigate enemies' DR (Clustered Shots), it's still recommended to take this feat, possibly turning it off in encounters against very hard-to-hit monsters.
