combat messages can be enabled with dwarf companion, which I'm not sure if works with the newest version yet or not. You can find it on the wiki

There is also a standalone program that enables them, I don't know anything about it though and I don't know if it's on the wiki or not.

Another thing to keep in mind with archery is that it's very safe to level and, depending on where you are, can be very easy to level (heavily forested areas or places with lots of animals).

That's not so much archery's fault as it is the fault of sparring.  Casualties are ridiculously high once everyone gets trained up, when Dwarves are trading Ultra-Mighty axe blows.
