At Pro disc.

[snoop & scoop]

On the AT PRO video with
Vaughn Garrett, he talks about iron disc. He takes a shotgun shell it reads at 28. He then takes a screw, it reads at 4. He says he is going to split the difference, and sets the disc at 20. To me splitting the difference would be 12. 28-4=24. Half of 24 is 12. Where am I wrong, and why?

thanks Snoop

Could be that the relationship between the two is not linear. Just a guess.

HIS personal reference to a setting in the mid-range might be what HE calls "splitting-the-difference."

To me splitting the difference would be 12. 28-4=24. Half of 24 is 12. Where am I wrong, and why?

There ARE 24 numbers between '4' and '28,' and 50% of that would be 12, however, to "split the difference" at mid-point you either ADD the 12 to the 4 = 16, or deduct the 12 from 28 = 16, so '16' would be the min-point setting between '4' and '28.'

PS: He also used a crummy shotgun shell base, if it read '28', because that means it was in the iron range. Most better-reading shell bases are more in the pull tabs to screw-cap range
