A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

A player, 7 October 2012
After reading the text of Koshin keep: Recon Reaction: After engaging: You have Reconnaissance at the current battlefield. Until this battle ends, your Ranged Attacks that do not destroy their target have the additional effects, "reduce the target's Force by the Ranged Attack's strength and you may take an additional Ranged Attack Battle action that may only target the same card".
Does the part thay I marked as bold mean that any other target would not be legal? Would that mean that only the first ranged attack (in the case that you should chain more than one to kill a personality/follower) would be allowed to be redirected with Ryoshun's, Benten, Chugo Seido, etc.?
Thanks in advance

Correct. Follow-up ranged attacks may not be retargeted in this situation.
