How can i get this freak of nature to drop his weapon and equip a properly dorfy weapon? I've attempted removing his entire squad, forcing the uniform change with shift enter, forbidding the bow, he just does not want to let go of it. I cannot make arrows, his quivers are full of bolts............ im at wits end, about ready to station his arse in the caverns to let him glorify himself. Anyone able to assist me?

Change uniform assignment to something with only crossbows and not any ranged weapons. At least that's worked for me, and set the ammo assignment to only bolts for the squad.

Don't. Instead, train him as a bow-wielding swordsman.

Alternatively, do what automata suggested. That works too.

it is a pain in the ass, but i hear unmaking the squad or unassigning him from the squad will get a military dwarf to drop their equipment and pick up whatever you assign them when you add them to a new squad.

Make a uniform that has no items, and assign it to him. Toggle Inactive/Training a couple times. Then if he drops it, forbid it and assign the crossbow.

This should work in theory...

In Military>Equipment>Select Squad>Select Squad Position(Lets say Position 2 is the Bow user)>Remove Individual Choice, Ranged and then press W, Add Crossbow.  Or Add a Specific Weapon, if ya have one in mind. 

I'd do the same thing, for the shield, to avoid him equiping the weapon in same hand, they sometimes do that.  This is good to learn, its how players load up 'named' artifacts for use on already skilled soldiers.  It doesn't change the whole uniform, just Position 2.
