Well, the point of it would be to get marksdwarves into melee combat, and very little else. Slashing attack of a bow will 99% of the time be defelcted by any half decent armour.

But at what point will you be facing JUST enemy marksgoblins?

Heh, never claimed it was perfect, but it still has its uses if you can reliably control the pathing of the gobbos, or eliminate the melee troops in more straightforward means. Tis just an extension of your tank traps idea from a few posts earlier.
