Just dig down. Copper deposits go super deep anyway. And then you can just shoot him down again and again as soon as he appears. Because he can not get into the hole, same for greydwarfes. I have always dug deeper first to make a camp where I can repair my pickaxe and then mined all around.

And for normal, what the others say. A bow and you're good to go.
