RE: Calculating arrow speed
MJL,
The virtual mass or efficiency for a given bow(if he has tested them) can be gotten from a Norb Mullaney bow report out of Bowhunting World magazine. Bow & Arrow hunting magazine had similar testes but I haven't seen that mag in a awhile.
The speed charts are heavily biased by launch angle of the arrow which varies enough from archer to archer to render the results very inaccurate.
