I had the same problem, even after adding skill points in bow to a doll none of them would use either bows or crossbows. I also made sure they had arrows in their arrow slots, in case someone wants to know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I started the game with the latest patch, so maybe the latest patch broke this option. If anyone can suggest ways to check this, I'd appreciate it.
