No, from collision rules damage is linear in velocity. However, bow efficiency varies with the weight of the arrow relative to the weight of the bow, which generally forces a heavier bow to use heavier arrows, and the scaling is only 1/3 in the weight of the projectile (due to how HP progression works).
