You study the instructions about bow lightening. Through the process of lightening a bow, both the weight and draw strength may be reduced. First you must study the instructions here. Then begin by clamping the bow down so it may be unstrung. Next, shape and carve it until the draw strength is sufficiently reduced. You may need to touch it up with a rasp along the way. When complete the bow will need an additional application of stain to finish the process.
