mighty composite huge bow

Are there any stats anywhere on the mighty composite huge bow? (range, damage, maximum "pluses",etc.)

I am extrapolating that the pluses would go up to +8 (continuing the doubling effect from short to long) and the damage would go up to 1d12). I don't know about the range, though.

Damage never goes to d12 per the DMG, it goes to 2d6. Not sure how the arms and equipment guide does things, though.... (it's newer and has a modified table)
 

From the Savage Species Book (p. 42, 43):

Mighty Composite Longbow (large) to Mighty Composite Longbow (huge)

Damage: 1d8 --> 2d6
Weight: 3 lbs. --> 4.5 lbs.
Cost: +50%
Rangeincrement: 110 ft. --> 137,5 ft.
max. Mighty: +4 --> ??? (but I guess +8)

Basically... per size category up you have an additional 50% weight and cost and an increase of 25% in range.
Damage increases at the following rate per size cartegory up (only true for weapons with base-dmg of 1d8)
1d8--2d6--3d6--4d6--6d6--8d6--12d6
 


The bow was created using the rules for weapon increases/ decreases in the Savage Species Book.
It's not listed in any table (at least I know of none) like standard weapons.

Basically any creature can use weapons that are up to one size category bigger than the creature itself. So for a huge bow you need to be at least large.
There might be feats, special abilities, special circumstances or whatever that let you bypass this restriction but I know of none.
