I second ambrosial's idea of ending on "bang!". With that modification, the poem emits the same sense of frantic urgency a marksman feels. Just make sure to put a comma after sterling since you're omitting "on a". The original was already an enjoyable read, but with the edits, the poem added a dimension of human instinct and deftness.
"A man with true morals behaves the same, whether starving or sated."
