I believe Allen Case built the arrow for Dan Perry in that shot . I am pretty sure it was well under 200 grains.

Dan Perry’s Record Self bow arrow 154 grains and just under 24” long. It has a mild barrel shape to it with a smoothly rounded over brass point. I used pheasant feathers for the fletches. Construction is split cane (hollow center) joined with hide glue, and maximum diameter around .24”. The nocks are multipiece Turkish flight arrow style with a thin silk wrap for reinforcement. Dan’s bow had large stiff levers with a linen string.

Do they use an overdraw devise with these short arrows?

No overdraws are allowed for the self bow and primitive simple-composite. Dan Perry’s Record 50# selfbow Record was without overdraw despite the short arrow length. The Primitive complex-composite division allows an overdraw and the Primitive Turkish division allows a sipur-style overdraw.

That's even more impressive.
