Under your range band system, it is now a short-range shot, and thus an Average task. This lowers the Target number for the character's skill check dice rolls, thereby increasing the odds of success pretty significantly.

I don't know any other way of making the bands equal without doubling the base range to keep the extreme range the same. I don't want to mess with the weapon stats, just stop half of all weapons range being almost impossible to hit at all.
