The house is formed of four concentric circles having a diameter of 12 (3,66 m), 8 (2,44 m), 4 (1,22 m) and 2 feet (0,61 m) respectively. The ring enclosed by the 12-foot and the 8-foot circles (called "outer ring") is blue and the one enclosed by the 4-foot and the 2-foot circles (called "inner ring" or "inside ring"), red, which leaves uncolored the ring enclosed by the 8-foot and the 4-foot circles (called "middle ring") and the inside of the 2-foot circle (called "tee" or "button"), giving them a white appearance.

The term "circle" refers, more properly, to each of the four circular lines forming the house while the term "ring" refers to the coloured or uncoloured surface between two circles. But since there are four circles and four inner surfaces, the terms tend to be used as synonyms, as are "concentric ring(s)" and "concentric circle(s)."

The tee is the uncoloured centre circle of the target; it is outlined by the red 4-foot circle surrounding it. In certain countries, a dolly placed on one end of the tee line is used to mark the centre of the house. The term «dolly» is not a synonym of the term «tee». 4, record 4, English, - tee

The centre of the house being a full circle and not a ring, there is a mix as to what is really the "inner circle": the red ring or the button? Since the rings, outer, middle and inner, or 12-foot, 8-foot and 4-foot, are considered as having a tee or button in their centre, it follows that the "inner circle" is the red ring enclosed between the 4-foot and the 2-foot circles and not the tee itself, even if the 2-foot circle enclosing the tee is the smallest of the four circles forming the house. [The illustration in The Visual Dictionary clearly establishes that the "inner circle" is the area enclosed by the 4-foot circle]. 4, record 4, English, - tee

Le terme «cercle» en français rend tant la notion propre au terme anglais «circle», ligne tracée en rond, que celle de «ring», anneau ou surface comprise à l’intérieur de deux cercles. Comme le centre de la maison est un cercle plein et non un anneau, on ne s’entend pas sur ce qui constitue le «cercle intérieur» : l’anneau rouge ou le bouton? 3, record 6, French, - cercle%20de%208%20pieds

The house is formed of four concentric circles having a diameter of 12 (3,66 m), 8 (2,44 m), 4 (1,22 m) and 2 feet (0,61 m) respectively. The ring enclosed by the 12-foot and the 8-foot circles (called "outer ring") is blue and the one enclosed by the 4-foot and the 2-foot circles (called "inner ring" or "inside ring"), red, which leaves uncolored the ring enclosed by the 8-foot and the 4-foot circles (called "middle ring") and the inside of the 2-foot circle (called "tee" or "button"), giving them a white appearance. Seen from above, the house appears as a series of three rings, blue, white and red around a white button. 3, record 7, English, - 4%2Dfoot%20ring

The term "circle" refers, more properly, to each of the four circular lines forming the house while the term "ring" refers to the coloured or uncoloured surface between two circles. But since there are four circles and four inner surfaces, the terms tend to be used as synonyms, as are "concentric ring(s)" and "concentric circle(s)." The centre of the house being a full circle and not a ring, there is a mix as to what is really the "inner circle": the red ring or the button? 3, record 7, English, - 4%2Dfoot%20ring
