The obvious solution to this upgrade inequality is to increase the radius of the accurate shot.
Here's another suggestion: let all three have an accurate shot. The upgrade could add an arc shot, and the alt-upgrade could add maximum distance (that is, a choice between area of effect and maximum distance, and you can balance everything with stats).
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...
