That test is irrelevant, since the Comanche used both a D-hilt and a recurve in the testing. Add that to the fact that it was a master archer (the Comanche expert) vs someone who isn't (the Mongol expert), and you have a test you can throw out.

The Mongol bow was a simple recurve. AN is bringing a composite recurve, which has an incredibly high draw strength (leading to a faster, harder-hitting shot with increased range).
