   I don't know how you keep the handle from popping off at that heavy weight? Is it pinned?

No, just glued with SmoothOn.

In fact, I don't know if it will stay or pop. I am not able (yet) to shoot this bow, so it is not really a problem yet.

Generally speaking, when a handle pops off of a self bow, at least, it's because there is movement(bending) in the handle and no amount of glue will prevent that. You might try wrapping it with sinew or another strong thread. I've been successful at doing that. On your next one try adding a power lam to prevent the handle area from bending.
