Default What happens to arrow speed?

What is the relationship between arrow speed and draw weight?. Obviously arrow speed will increase as draw weight increases, but at what rate. How many FPM do you gain with a lb of draw. Would this be a dynamic number, i.e a % of increase?

Sorry for all the questions, I was just wondering what effect increasing my draw weight form 68 to 70 lbs.

Depending on the bow you get between 1.75-2.25 FPS for every pound of adjustment.

So say 2fps on average per pound of draw weight.
