How we calculate this:  v(m) = baseline × √(377 / (m + 27)) ·  baseline = IBO + (DL−30)×10 + (DW−70)×2 ·  KE = m·v² / 450240 ·  %FOC = 100×(balance point − length/2) / length ·  Arrow Speed = v × 0.975  ·  Est. KE = KE × 0.97  ·  Virtual mass model fitted to chrono data (RMSE 1.14 fps, 4 bows, 16 points)
