I was just under the impression that the boost had to be used before an action that resulted in an attack - free/power action, ranged attack, action resolves. Knowing that you can use the Shield TA during a Running Shot or HSS attack makes it much more usable. Thanks for clearing that up guys.
The key is in the phrase: "When a friendly character makes a ranged combat
attack..."
This (so far) always occurs during an action. Staying right where you are, using a normal RCA or a power action for RCE...you give the action, then you make the attack. Since SHIELD is used when you make the attack, that's when it activates.
