I want to know the average initial velocity, preferably in m/s, of an arrow shot from a bow.
As in average, I mean "usually how much is it"? I'm aware there's not much equation to calculate it, but does anyone know how much is the initial velocity usually?

Not enough info. How hard is the bow being pulled? It's not like every arrow ever made leaves a bow with the same speed.

And "average initial" is an oxymoron. To find an initial velocity, you're looking for an instantaneous velocity, not an average one.
