Erm.... nope, not quite EB! EFAA shoot animal faces as well (our EFAA course currently has Big Game faces out).
Our club is both EFAA and
NFAS, holding 9 EFAA classification shoots on all faces and 3
NFAS shoots through the year.
The main difference between them tends to be that EFAA courses tend to be marked distances whereas
NFAS tend to be unmarked.
NFAS can be 3D or animal faces. Scoring depends on the rounds (Big Game as defined, but there are several variants).
EFAA can be field or hunter (black&white roundels - 3 scoring rings (3, 4, 5), 4 arrows per target). OR it can be forrester or big game (both animal faces). Forrester is one arrow from each peg, anything from 1 to 4 pegs per target. Arrows score 10/15/20 depending on where they hit. Big Game is similar to the
NFAS (3 arrows maximum, first scoring hit counts) but the scoring differs slightly - 20/18 16/14, 12/10 - depending on kill/wound.
As for safety, well, I know what went into our Crystal shoot today (under
NFAS rules), in clearing lanes, making sure there were enough marshals, etc, etc. To suggest "less safety conscious" is perhaps about as accurate as a beginner from 80 yards on an EFAA course......
John, have a quick look at the website that's listed on my signature, it might give you an idea of what things are like.
