General

Archery is the practice of shooting Template:L at things -- either at Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L.
This Template:L increases the accuracy and finesse of every ranged weapon a Template:L may use.

In order to engage in archery, a dwarf needs three things: a ranged Template:L, some Template:L, and a Template:L to hold the ammunition.

Assignment of ranged weapons to dwarves is prioritized: Template:L squads get first pick, and then Template:L can choose from the leftovers. Template:Ls can be assigned a particular type of weapon, but hunters cannot be controlled so finely.

Assignment of ammunition is done through the Template:L (m -> f) for both military squads and hunters. Ammunition must match the weapon: bolts for Template:Ls, arrows for bows.

Template:L

  • If you assign both arrows and bolts to the same group, dwarves who are holding a crossbow may grab arrows, and dwarves who are holding a bow may grab bolts.
