What I want is for an arrow to shoot from an initial position (60,60) at different x and y velocities, and the angle that the bow shoots from will change depending on where the user touches the screen.

The arrow moves perfectly considering velocities and gravity, but how would I get the angle of the arrow, say if it started at a 45 degree angle shot, for the arrow to be 180 degrees when y=0? and when gravity kicks in make the head of the arrow slowly point downwards?
Also the sprite moves the arrow image from the center.

    The angle is going to be arctan(y/x), starting at 0 for horizontal pointing right, to 90° pointing vertical. Note that this is with the coordinate system having a home of 0° = directly east; make sure you add or subtract angle for how your arrow is pointed.
