Which one is correct?

I inputed the infor that is my arrow into both.
I'm guessing Stu Miller Is using method 2 In the link I posted and that's the method I prefer. From what I understand neither way Is wrong. Like Ashby said In his reports when people discuss FOC with each other, be clear to people on what method you use so people don't get confused.

my "panzer tank killer" arrow is a gt .286" diameter 55/75 carbon that's 680 grains and well over 30% foc.  it will out penetrate (by almost 6") a woodie of the same total weight, when shot into a dense, layered foam butt, both sport the same tusker concorde broadhead.  both fly as if on rails.

which should i prefer to hunt hogs with this spring, and why?    ;)  
I'd be happy with either (if they shot well) should someone invite me on a hog hunt.    :biglaugh:  

Sounds like either will defeat the gristle plate and spell dead little piggy.
