Go to the [m]ilitary screen, then

For ranged soldiers, open the ammunition (f) tab and assign them something from there. If you don't care what they use, you still need to give them ammo - just pick 'bolts' and it will default to any bolts they can find. Assigning at least TWO piles of ammunition with two separate use designations is recommended. Assign one pile for training and one for fighting, or they will use all of their bolts training and end up attempting to whack enemies with their crossbows. By default, both training and combat use is turned on. Use C and T to toggle these settings. If the letter is present next to the ammunition, the use is turned on. Note that in the current version, this does not work properly - dwarves will use ammunition for training even if it is permitted only for combat.
