Beautiful bow and beautiful grooving! What is the drawlength that you expect?

My 2nd turkish bow(the 1st is damaged when strung.) is 110 n-to-n and 1.4cm at sal. I tied it to the tepliks but have no way to bend it for stringing----too hard the bow is.
Now the stone-like bow is bent from a C shepe to a straight line.

I think the drawweight would be between 55 and 70 Pounds.
I don?t know.
