Many dinner plates are 10". A clear glass one will work. Glass shops will also make you a 10" circle from plastic or plexiglass for a few dollars and I'm sure if you "Google" it you can find some enterprising person who also makes them.

It really helps when whatever you use is clear.

Thanks,

I use a 12 masonry saw blade that I wore down to 10". That way I have a handy center point as well. I am not a pellet counter but I do like checking poi every year and making sure things are normal.

Piece of string with a Sharpie tied to it.  Cheap protractor.

You can buy a cheap kid's compass tool at one of the marts for $5 to $10.  I have a high quality one that I think I paid around $20 for a number of years ago. I used mine to make 10" circle targets with a 4" circle inside that.

I use a paint stirrer with a hole drillled for a nail and 2 more holes one hole 5" away and one 10" away. I stick the nail center of patern and a sharpie in the 5" hole and draw my circle. Then I put the sharpie in the 10" hole and draw my 20.
