1. A system for tuning archery equipment, the system comprising: an arrow-mounted sensor configured to provide data concerning at least one flight characteristic of an arrow shot from a bow; anda processing device configured to receive data provided by the arrow mounted sensor and to generate information concerning an adjustment of the archery equipment to improve a performance of arrows shot from the bow based at least in part on the data provided by the arrow-mounted sensor. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system includes a control unit comprising the processing device, a display and a user input device. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the control unit is configured to display the information concerning the adjustment of the archery equipment on the display. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the control unit is configured to update the information concerning the adjustment of the archery equipment in response to information supplied by a user via the user input device. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processing device includes a mobile phone including a display. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the information is provided in the display. 7. A system comprising: an arrow-mounted device configured to provide flight data for an arrow shot from a bow; anda processing device configured to receive the flight data provided by the arrow-mounted device and to determine at least one quantified value from the flight data. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the processing device is configured to provide at least one measurement from the flight data. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein the processing device includes a mobile phone including a display. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the information is provided in the display. 11. The system of claim 7, wherein the system is configured to measure a performance of at least one of the arrow and the bow. 12. The system of claim 7, wherein the arrow-mounted device is removably attached to the arrow. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the arrow-mounted device is configured as a direct replacement for a conventional archery component. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the system is configured to provide data for use in tuning archery equipment, and wherein the at least one quantified value provides feedback concerning a performance of at least one of the bow, the arrow and an archer. 15. A method of tuning archery equipment including an arrow and a bow, the method comprising: generating, with a sensor included in the arrow, data concerning at least one flight characteristic of the arrow when shot from the bow; andgenerating information concerning an adjustment of the archery equipment to improve a performance of the arrow when shot from the bow based at least in part on the data provided by the sensor. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising generating the information using a mobile phone. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the mobile phone includes a display, and wherein the method further comprises displaying the information in the display. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising receiving, with the mobile phone, a user input concerning the shot. 19. A computer readable medium encoded with a program for execution on a processor, the program when executed on the processor performing determining a value concerning an arrow shot from a bow, the method comprising acts of: receiving flight data generated with a sensor included in the arrow when shot from the bow; anddetermining at least one quantified value from the flight data.
