No, it's cool.  We still wanted to talk about this. 

It's only a necro if the topic is over 5 years old, and this one is only 4.  ::)

The question of archery ranges vs hunters is legitimate!
I prefer hunters. Sure, my marksdwarves aren't selected for skill, but for ability to dodge cave dragons when hunting, but it gets rid of the more useless dwarves. If only my butchers could keep up...

Have both.  Cross train hunters as archers.  might as well have them be good shots when you send them out after game.  use up more of those bone bolts.

Well, nowadays you can actually make shooting galleries with minecarts.
