This is probably what will have to be done.

Maybe not, the Turkish, Mongol and Hunnic bow could possibly all be combined, though I have read that the Mongol and Turkish bows were superior with longer range and more bower. The difficulty then is to decide which units should be equipped with such a weapon. Currently these units have the composite bow:
Archers [Eastern]
Desert Archers
Dismounted Steppe Cavalrymen
Janissary Archers
Nizari Fedayeen
Nizari Foot Soldiers
Psiloi
Turcoman Foot Soldiers
Zerhli Nefer
Zerhli Nefer Janissary
Nizari Fedayeen
So far I have compiled this list of revised units that will definitely have composite bows of some kind:
Archers [Eastern]
Dismounted Steppe Cavalrymen
Janissary Archers
Kapikulu Sipahis
Mamluk Horse Archers
Mongol Horse Archers
Nizari Fedayeen
Nizari Foot Soldiers
Pronoiarioi Kavallarioi Toxotai
Psiloi
Sipahi Oglen
Steppe Heavy Cavalry
Steppe Horse Archers
Szekely
Timarli Sipahis
Turcoman Foot Soldiers
Turcoman Horse Archers
Turcopole
Zerhli Nefer
Zerhli Nefer Janissary
Generic Composite bow
Mongol Composite bow
Turk Bow
These are the units I currently have doubts about:
Boyar
Boyar Bodyguards (name needed)
Faris
Desert Horse Archers
Desert Archers
