Dwarven crossbows kind of make sense because dwarves almost certainly had the capability, it makes sense for dwarves to have and to use (from the perspective of a writer), however, Tolkien doesn't mention them, throwing axes are not to be underestimated, and as Gen. Grievous has mentioned they are already pretty darn powerful. Dwarven shortbows make sense lorewise, however I don't think they would use them except rarely (maybe as a certain chance to get one of them instead of an axe thrower as I believe Smoregoth or Swordsbane - similar names - suggested somewhere). If they did get a bow it would probably have a long drawback time (someone mentioned the drawweight being similar to a longbow), low range, but a decently high damage. Probably though dwarves could be left alone without losing anything. Not even Numenor used crossbows, it's illogical for any nation to use them.
