How to get the Marksdwarves to reload

dwarf-fortress

In Dwarf Fortress, once my marksdwarves have fired off all of their bolts, is there a way to get them to reload?

Best Answer

If you'd prefer your marksdwarves to reload instead of going into melee combat, you can go the military menu, view their squad, and then toggle c to tell them to stay close to their station. This will cause them to go and collect bolts, then start shooting again.
