Any benefit from using a smaller archery range?  Do the dwarves wait for the bolt to hit the target before firing a new one?  If so, a smaller range may imply faster training.

Dwarves don't practice with metal bolts.

"Any sort of bolts can be used to practice with." This can't be correct, unless it's been changed in this version. I have never seen a dwarf practice with metal bolts. --Kjoery 09:15, 7 November 2007 (EST)

You are correct. In my new fortress, the dorves only practice when I finally built bone/wood bolts. FFLaguna 17:53, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Experience

Does the distance to the target have any effect on how effective the training is? Are longer distances better, or shorter? Does it depend on the dwarf's skill (i.e. shorter for novices, longer for professionals)?--Draco18s 01:23, 28 February 2008 (EST)

so, am i the only one who is disturbed by the archers happily firing away at the dwarves cleaning up their training bolts? Is this the kind of respect we should show our cleaning personal? --Koltom 20:22, 5 March 2008 (EST)

I've thought it odd, but as they don't get hurt its only a minor cosmetic bug.--Draco18s 20:19, 7 March 2008 (EST)
I dont think its a bug at all. I was kidding ;) --Koltom 09:48, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Distance

Anyone know the minimum/maximum distance an archer will train from? --Bouchart 20:06, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Well, they won't stand directly adjacent to the target. "... cancels Shooting at Archery Range: No floor space." One space in between is enough. The archery range room has a maximum size too -- can't designate beyond that. They'll still train at the maximum distance. Anydwarf 23:27, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
