ABOUT THE CGG RIFLE ASSOCIATION 'A CLASS' DESIGNATION Meaning of "A Class Aggregate" in a Rifle Association In competitive shooting, results are often grouped by both: • Class – A shooter’s skill category (e.g., Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert, Master, High Master, or A/B/C classes depending on the association). • Aggregate – A combined score from multiple stages, relays, or matches. So: A Class Aggregate means the total combined score of a shooter who competes in A‑Class, tallied across the stages included in that particular match or event.
