He might get better odds if he used a 1 second Aim and then fired. The first second of Aim is +18 (Basic scale). The second and third Turns are only +1 each.

Even if it's only 2 shots at 50% rather than one at 75% the 2 50% shots give you a chance at taking the second shot at another target if the first one hits.
