Although I can't argue with the alteration advices, I have to agree with Jawge and others; it looks pretty darn good!

If it doesn't rap the lintel, it might not be a longbow.

As said, it looks good as is. However, if you want more bend toward the tips, do exatly what RyanO said and pike it down to 68" (which is still plenty long) and scrap the outer 3rd of the limbs about 10 times. Do this, you'll have exactly what you want and shouldn't lose any weight.
