  For integers $r$ and $n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large, and for every set
$X \subseteq [n]$ we determine the maximal left-compressed intersecting
families $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{r}$ which achieve maximum hitting
with $X$ (i.e. have the most members which intersect $X$). This answers a
question of Barber, who extended previous results by Borg to characterise those
sets $X$ for which maximum hitting is achieved by the star.
