That bow was no more a Turkish Horse bow than  a horse is a rhino.
 Pretty sure the distances achieved were posted though. Marginally greater than a similar weight flatbow.

I'm assuming this isn't the best moment to let you know that one of the closest living species to a rhinoceros is a horse, right?

The "Rhino" bow did 386 yards I think.  Not sure what the arrow was, however.
If you knew me you would know that I am well aware of that and it is also exactly my point.
 It looks a bit like it and you can see the common ancestry but it's still not the same thing at all.
   
  Surprised I had to spell that out....

It must take years and years of hard training to shoot a bow of 130lb
