As best I can reconstruct from poorly-annotated spreadsheets... use the following formula to generate the effective (for certain values of "effective") velocity for the range band:

(Vi + (2 x Vm) + Vo) / 4

Vi = velocity at inner boundary of range band
Vm = velocity at midpoint of range band
Vo = velocity at outer boundary of range band

Thus, for the Medium range band (100m to 200m), you'd use

(100m velocity + (2 x 150m velocity) + 200m velocity) / 4
