Real or Replica?

Nukem, Alvin, rhuff, and anyone,
I believe I have to clarify something regarding target patterns. This is how I view my shots. And of course I could be all wet. These are just examples to illustrate and communicate the idea(s).

If I hit all of my shots in the 2" circle I call it a 2" pattern. This is because all the shots are 2" or less to the bulls-eye (B-E). I understand many would call it a 4" pattern because they measure from one side to the other or farthest equaling 4", 2+2.

If I shot a 4" pattern (2+2) 10" from the B-E, I wouldn't call it a 4" pattern or a 10" pattern. One would have to describe it as a 4" (average) group 10" from the B-E. I would then use the 10" average for adjustment, because I would be shooting way, way off. lol. So, pattern by itself is not accurately describing the precision of it all, i.e., accuracy of the weapon and level of shooting ability.

So, as I said previously in the my 'results' I used the 'hit/impact' to the B-E. And I know it is not with the consensus of the majority. I just didn't think to describe it the other way, sorry.
