If shooting at FArm infantry with the dismountable characteristic do  the armour downgrades apply while they are counting as mounted?

And would Powerbow get the upgrade for shooting vs cavalry?

They are defined as moving as cavelry/camelry but if contacted fight as foot, but I couldn't find anything regarding shooting.

Nope, I can't find anything either. The rules only say that they "move" as cavalry/camelry, not get shot up like them. Taking a conservative position (read: "not making up rules on my own"), I would say that they are not treated as Cv/Cm when shot at.

Shoot as if it was infantry.  Could probably benefit from clarification.

Yup, probably worth adding to the FAQ section as it is something that feels like an oddity - FWIW I do recall a discussion with Simon on this some time ago and he did want them shot at as Infantry so it is a confirmation and not an amendment.
