Yep you're right. Providing everything else is equal, a fast bow and a fast arrow is best for field.

James Park, a very respected Aussie coach did exhaustive tests to find which was the 'best' arrow for target and field (mainly for compounds but I think the same would apply for recurve). He found that Protours and x10's with tungsten piles were best for target, and Aces were best for field (faster over 60 metres). To be fair, the Nano users complained that their arrows were not tested with the same high quality componants and I am sure that they too would be very good for both disciplines.
