"If you try to use a weapon that requires more ST than you have, you will be at -1 to weapon skill per point of ST you lack and lose one extra FP at the end of any fight that lasts long enough to fatigue you." (p. B270)

RAW, bows cost what they cost no matter their rated ST. The Deadly Spring (Pyramid #3/33) provides more detailed rules for designing bows of different ST and the associated cost.
