The dot is your point of aim. Based on the densest part of the pattern you can adjust your sights so your POA and POI is the same. The circle is 10" and you draw it around the densest part of the pattern.

We use a dot to aim at, but then after the shot draw a 10 inch circle around the densest part of the pattern.  This circle does two things for you.  It allows you to see how you need to adjust your sights to center the pattern on the dot, and counting the number of pellets inside the circle allows you to measure the potential effectiveness of the shell/choke/gun combination at that given range.
