Default RE: 150 pound draw weight!!!!!

I was told by a history buff colleague that they found a cargo of English longbows that had a 200lb draw weight. No wonder they easily pierced armor and had unbelievable casts. Supposedly the archer would spend much of his life making his bow. What do you use for an arrow that would have the spine for such a bow? A whole sapling? A wagon axle?
