Hi everyone,
I couldn't find this in the wiki or previous discussions - does the distance from the archery target (or live target) increase the amount of skill gained by marksdwarfs? How far do you usually set your practice targets?
I will update the wiki with the answer when I get it.
Thanks! :)

I believe it's 30 XP for firing (or throwing or siege-operating), regardless how far.

You can try in adventure-mode, by the way: stand next to the broad side of a barn and fire; note down the XP. Then, stand in a wide plain and fire at a boulder at the edge of your sight; note down the XP.

I have noticed that shooting at a living target seems to speed xp gain up. I have a couple marksdwarves that have slooowly been training at the archery range, which brought them up all of 1-2 skill points over the coursse of 3 or so years. I built some fortificcations along the side of the ccave river, and had them safely snipe off the river creatures, and they 1-2 levels on single stacks of bolts before they went back for more ammo!

I think that shooting at live creatures give +50% shooting xp or something (which makes sense after all). Maybe the wiki knows?

30exp for each shot at a living target, 7.5 exp (or something) for archery range, regardless or range
