Here in the Netherlands we have a 12 year old member of the Dutch Warbow Society who shoots a 100 lbs warbow.
So is it possible?
Yes!
Enjoy!

So here is the long-delayed full tiller. I made the handle area a bit stiff handled on purpose, though not as stiff as the photo suggests. any suggestions? (besides get a better camera) ;)

I am no expert, and am certainly still learning myself, but I think your tiller looks good! You did a fine job man!
