Training with Crossbows, Wooden/Bone Bolts more than preferred
Dwarves will automatically use only wooden or bone bolts, you needn't worry about metal bolts being wasted on practice.
Based on classic DF, bone or wooden bolts will indeed be used to fight if the dwarf doesn't have anything else though, and they sometimes would just coincidentally have a handful of "practice" bolts when they went out to battle thus having a useful backup. Especially nice when they're very highly skilled and 35-45 bolts isn't enough to last the duration of a fight!
Out of ammo
Is it worth noting (on this page) that dwarves will use the hammer skill to bludgeon with their crossbow if they run out of ammo? --Matryx 09:22, 5 November 2007 (EST)
- I think it is, if only to warn that if they run out of bolts while they're fighting something, they won't immediately run back to the stockpile to get more. --Xazak 09:26, 5 November 2007 (EST)
Xbow material
Do someone know if your crossbow hit harder, or do more damage, when it's made of metal rather than wood or bone in the same way a melee weapon would? --Eagle of Fire 02:42, 28 November 2007 (EST)
- When it is used in melee - crossbow material is important as all other melee weapons. In ranged only material and quality of the bolt affect it's damage potential. Crossbow's quality level is directly added to the soldier's effective marksdwarf skill increasing his accuracy and rate of fire.--Another 13:11, 9 December 2007 (EST)

Does say, hunting with a crossbow increase marksdwarf skill? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadow archmagi (talk•contribs)
- Yes it does. Unfortunately it will also increase hammerdwarf skill ;) --Koltom 23:53, 27 February 2008 (EST)

Two-handed?
Are crossbows two-handed when used at range? You'd think they'd be two-handed for re-loading, and one-handed (at the very least, two hands are more accurate) for firing, but I don't know if DF supports this.StrawberryBunny 10:34, 8 August 2008 (EDT)
