I prefer the second. Or min(ST,minST), specifically for bows, minST for xbows. Your muscle isn't providing the force that's moving the arrow. The mechanical elasticity of the bow/xbow is. It can only put in as much force as it's rated at. If you're not strong enough to take maximum advantage of that, it is reflected by your ST being lower than the minST with the usual results. It is annoying that there's no rule for the upper mechanical limits for bows composed of different materials and of different sizes.
