Does Koshin Keep allow you to endlessly use ranged attacks? I guess the question is this: Does the extra attack it allows you to take also trigger it's ability? So you could burn through all of your ranged attacks before your opponent gets a chance to act?

Yes to all questions, HOWEVER (and it's a BIG "however")...

...note that the trait on Koshin Keep denotes that your subsequent additional Ranged Attacks "may only target the same card". So, you could potentially use up all your Ranged Attacks before the other player gets an action, on a particularly high-Force card and/or one that keeps negating the Force penalties from your Stronghold's trait, but the end result will not be the destruction of any more than one card.
