I can make em but I can't equip bows in the military weapons screen. Ditto any other non-dwarf weapons. Anything I can do to change this?

maybe it's a problem with the skills required? I noticed while looking through the raws that bows require the sword skill. perhaps if you changed the skill required from swords to crossbows, you could get bows to work?

just a thought; I personally think it's silly to have bows require swordsmanship, so I plan on seeing if that will work for my mod.

Bows have a spearate skill from crossbows.  You would have to change the skill from bow to crossbow, but then you would still get crossbowmen, just with bows.

Also, the sword skill/hammmer skills on bows/crossbows are the skills required when using them for melee.
