Physical weight of Manchu bows

Making bows, arrows and stuff
1

Hello,

Does anyone know what roughly the average physical weight of a Manchu bow would be?
The weight will of course differ according to the total length of the bow. But what would be the direction?
The Manchu style bow I am finishing weighs 685gram at a total length of 160cm, ntn 155cm.

Thanks
