Well, this is a good reason why you don't walk around with a nocked broadhead arrow. His friend will have to live with this the rest of his life.

Tragic, my guess would be honest mistake. Something we should alwasy remember when hunting in pairs.

I have a lot of family in Kelso/Longview including a brother.  In a small town like that, this is likely to have some big ripples. 

In Hunter Safety classes they preach hard and heavy on "Muzzle Areness", guess that should apply to archery equipment.
