Armed with crossbows and deal pierce damage from afar. A bolt does a fine job at piercing the internal organs of a creature while also doing some damage to outside parts. This is of limited use against creatures without organs, such as magma men. Occasionally a bolt will get stuck in a target; the only known use for this is that a wrestling dwarf may grab the bolt and twist it in the wound.

Increasing Marksman skill requires a successful hit upon a target, with "live targets" granting more experience than an archery target[Verify]. Higher skill grants better accuracy and higher rate of fire. An archery range is only used by military dwarves that are off duty, and they will only use wood or bone bolts during practice.

A marksdwarf who is forced into melee will use the hammer skill to bash enemies with their crossbow.

Immigrating Trappers often arrive with a Novice Marksdwarf skill. Immigrating and embarking marksdwarves bring their own crossbows and a limited supply of bolts.
