bow strings

Fast and heavy bows normally all have high tension at brace, but your observation about the Korean bows is interesting. Perhaps the tips would not break, even if the bows were as heavy.

Yes, the lower lip is shearing off.

I have made a test set up for measuring tension at brace height and during the draw. I shall test some modern Korean bows and see how they compare. The brace height tension is a direct measurement, but because the scale remembers peak weights the during the draw measurements require calculation.
