I like it. You might want to consider editing your initial post to include units, however. Also, I'm curious as to why you used 48 instead of 51 in your calculation. Finally, what is your justification for using the .67 conversion factor? I seem to recall you justifying it, but can't find that anymore.

50# does seem rather high for ST 8. I personally struggle with a 50# compound bow, and my ST is probably around that level. I can do it, but (in GURPS terms) it costs FP for each shot. Were it not for the let-off of compounds, however, I probably wouldn't be able to manage at all.
