Hello,
I had big trouble too to configure archery.
But.
I found a way:
- First create your squad
- Build archery range, give orientation and finally set your squad to "T"rain on each and every targets, Also, be sure they each have their own "room". Their zone must not cross.
- Build and assign barrack to train the squad, the barrack zone must cover the archery target you want them to train on.
Now is the funny part, ammunition management:
- In m, f, you can manage ammunition for hunter/archer squads, i usually set wooden/bone bolt for "T"raining and Metal bolts for "C"ombat.
- Be sure to never get over 250-300 assigned bolts shared between all types.
- But but, will you say, after my squad get in Combat, they will never train again (or very occasionally)!!!
- After any Combat, go back to m, f and change metal bolts to 10, also add the "T"raining tag.
- Once they emptied their quiver from Metal bolts (which mean they have only 10 bolt listed in m, f menu) , you can remove the "T" and get back to your normal number of metal bolts.
- Do this each time your archery squad get in Combat or they switch to combat ammunition for any reason.
This is because of a known bug where dwarves does not empty their quiver from combat ammunition to get training ammunition once combat is over.
Hope this helped.
EDIT: I tried again and found out training is workign fine now. Updated process.
