"What do I need to shoot to make A?" is the most common question in practical shooting. The answer is always a single number per classifier — you just have to do a little math first.
Start with the class threshold
Each class is a percentage band: B is 60%, A is 75%, Master is 85%, GM is 95%. To enter a class your best-6-of-8 average has to clear its floor, so that floor is your target percentage.
Convert the percentage into a target hit factor
A classifier's percentage is your hit factor divided by its High Hit Factor (HHF). Flip it around and the target hit factor is simple:
Target HF = (target % × HHF) ÷ 100
If a classifier's HHF is 9.0 and you want an A-class 75%, you need a hit factor of 6.75 on that stage. Want Master (85%) on the same classifier? 7.65.
Remember it is an average, not a single run
You do not need one perfect classifier — you need your best six of eight to average above the line. One 78% in a sea of 70s barely moves you; a run of 76–80% pulls the whole average up. That is why consistency beats a single hero run.

Computing target hit factors for every classifier you might shoot, in your division, by hand, gets old fast. MatchChaser's projector does it automatically: set your goal class and it shows the precise hit factor you need on your next one, two, or three classifiers to get there. Try it free.
