[Sheez]

I've recently gotten a number of my marksdwarves up and running in small two barracks near the enterance. I have, graciously, provided them with archery targets that they might improve and further serve the Dwarven Empire. However, every now and then I'll see one of my random peasants jumping into those barracks and standing next to the archery targets. A game of William Tell? No, they are apparently cleaning the blood off of the target. Yes, my marksdwarves cause stone to bleed. There is no visible blood when the ground is checked.

Any ideas? Has anyone else noticed this?

Broken/used arrows.  There's a symbol for it and the peasants are cleaning that up.

Are you sure your marksdwarves aren't missing, and peppering those silly peasants getting in the way?

[Draco18s]

I thought about that once myself, but I've never seen blood on the floor in my archery range except when a bleeding sparrer wanders through (they tend to bloddy up the entire barracks as well as large swaths of main hallway).
I've also checked the blood cleaners for wounds: none.

Like Draco18s says, they're cleaning up the broken arrows. It just says 'cleaning blood' for some reason. They aren't hitting the peasants because dwarves have remarkable accuracy which ensures that no friendly-fire incidents occur.
