Or the bow could be made of myomer fibers that act like muscles, 'snapping' the bow as the string is released, which I'd probably model as striking strength in the same range as whatever exoskeletons there are in the setting.
Really, I suspect that the bow is going to end up acting (mostly) as a payload rifle, which should give it awesome utility. Make sure they have arrows for every situation, maybe even gadget (arrows only). There isn't any reason that the arrows can't be guided (via computer-controlled fletching or whatever), and if your 'normal' arrows are doing 3d(10) imp damage (and are reusable!), that seems like it's in the same damage range as the guns other people are likely to have.
