Dig a 1 z level pit before your entrance, with no way out. with a bridge or narrow walkway overlooking it,   fill the pit with nobles, elves,  immigrants,   cats   and they'll waste their ammo before ever getting to your real defences, and it helps control the noble, elf, immigrant cat population

[Fredd]

This might be a possible solution, to make them waste bolts. Set up a room, which is behind fortifications. Behind the fortifications, set up flood gates, connected to a repeater device. When crossbow gobbos arrive outside the gate, engage the repeater.
 In the room, assign a animal, to a rope. With the floodgates repeatedly opening , and closing, the bow goblins will waste their ammo supply on the animal. With the repeater, most will not strike it. Then, when ammo supply is gone, send out the melee troops.
 For a bonus, make the room a nobles

Actually, here's the idea, a waffled fort entrance.

No non-melee lines of fire at all. I've used them with great success against fireball-throwing enemies.
