The simplest forms of bows had just around 20 pounds... Still suitable for hunting, apparently..
For more information:

Fansa (ed.) Experimentelle Archäologie in Europa. Bilanz 2005. Heft 4, 2006, 21-26.

Fansa (ed.) Experimentelle Archäologie in Europa. Bilanz 2005. Heft 4, 2006, 27-33. (A bit early, I admit, but not so different from later bows)

Reconstructions of the Alamannic yew bow from Oberflacht ( ca. 500 CE ) have between 30 and 70 pounds, with an average of 50 pounds.
