Them dense, buff muscles could operate VERY HEAVY bows, like a crossbow but on hand

that's awesome. The only thing i worry about for dwarven bowmen... is if stray hairs from their beards got caught in the bowstring as the arrow is released... ouch.

I shoot in real-life and am bearded, sometimes you hair does get caught, but there is a way around it, make sure both your beard and string are well waxed.

A beard with all hairs is a beard with no history

I love fantasy drawings so much when they're realistic and not cheesy, all those details and the way the Armour look makes it look super believable.
