I usually fly each approach segment a bit faster in an Arrow 3.
Base leg at 85 kts, Finals at 75 kts/Flaps 40, slowing to 70 kts over the fence. Round out, then power back to idle, and increasing back pressure in the hold-off as the aircraft sinks. Should result in a graceful arrival. For a glide approach, 75 kts/Flaps 40 on final seems to work fine.
