Can anyone here tell me what skill the slings are used for and why my hunters, though it shows that they can use bullets for ammo...Refuse to use them?
Further, the wickershop shows it can work leave into wicker blocks though i am uncertain what they are, I do have leafs in my kitchen options and they are available though currently i am unable to utilize them... I apologize for being a troublesome git XD

so the skill is pike for both melee and ranged combat.
the kobolds need a quiver... even for bullets.
Additionally you will need to assign bullets as ammo in the military screen for hunters:
1. (m)ilitary screen->(f)ammunitions->Hunters higlighted-> move to the right:
2. Remove all the types of ammo you don't want to use and add the types of ammo you want to use.
3. Then move one more to the right:
4. Uncheck any stacks marked as assigned that you don't want them to be using.
If after that you can't get them to put down old weapons or ammo, mark their ammo and weapons as forbidden and they should drop them. Hunters will only reload with the ammo stacks that is assigned to them, and they will be only assigned ammo stacks that match the types they are assigned to, so once they drop their forbidden stacks, they shouldn't pick that type up again. they should pick up weapons that match their ammo stacks... but I usually have to forbid those too to get them to stop holding them. after that they should pick up a sling since that's what their ammo goes with.

thats all the things you can make wicker blocks out of, I think the one you are talking about is the dry leafs one... that one requires leaves you get from processing a plant into a bag at the farmers workshop.
the others are longland grass, vine whip, and blade weed(can all be found outside on most embarks and planted in above ground farmland plots); and cave wheat and quarry bush (underground farming plants).
