Dark Chains has minimum range? =O
Also, with this Critical, Bow Masters and Marksmen are officially obsolete.
The guys running around with Wild Hunters in Tespia, can you test the damage of Spring Shot?
What I'm observing in videos is that its damage gets progressively better as it goes through more targets, like Pierce; however, I am unable to determine whether or not this is actually a Pierce effect where damage is going up, or whether this is some reverse Iron Arrow where the first target is actually taking less than rated damage.

Though this video is one depicting the use of Wild Shot primarily, you can see the few instances such as 1:10, where he uses Spring Shot and the initial hit is only triple digits but the final hit reaches 2448, which is not in regular range of mastery. Presumably, Wild Shot is at level 1, since he's only 7x and thus only had three skill points worth to glitch into it, and his Spring Shot is maxed as he is in Third Job. With this, I expect his range to be around 600~1200, which should hit nowhere near 2400 on Spring Shot.
Unless Crossroads has a similar effect to Pierce or the delay is greatly exaggerated, it is still seemingly worthless outside of a single shot to stun monsters from retaliating immediately and then spamming Spring Shot to finish them off as Crossroads is only 10% more damage and more than 1.5x the standard Crossbow speed.
