Bubby, I don't think anybody's made a replica of Otzis bow. I know Steve Stratton had a go once but the Italian yew he used wasn't quite good enough to withstand being built inside out, like Otzis.
The replica I'm talking about is the Balinderry Bow. And the 150# draw weight is at a normal draw length, somewhere around 28-32".

I can only give my own opinion on it, and that opinion is that it was finished or at least shootable. There are reasons for it, but I don't think they're relevant to this thread.
Point is, even if you totally ignore the Otzi bow then there are still bows found dating way back before the 100 years war that are spitting images of the classic longbow and seem by all accounts (and exacting replicas made) to have draw weights in excess of 100#.
