what if one uses poplar or pine or something for the tips and kasan sections instead, for more lightweight bows?

The only non-asiatic bows that interest me are the English war bows, and with the technique they use during the draw I can see shooting 100+ lbs with those, but man I can't imagine drawing a 100lb turkish bow. I can draw my 50lb manchu all day no problem but I can tell much more than that and I would start to struggle, lol.

Well, I got my osage sinew version shooting 174fps with a 571 gr arrow. Ke is 38.38. I could get more if I built another that hasnt been abused as this one has.
Mike, thanks for letting me hijack your thread.
