Really seems like this was terrible situational awareness, and lack of ensuring a clear range from both the shooter and the individual that was hit.
I have been to multiple TACs, shooting with my wife or shooting with a random group. If I ever have to search for my own arrow I ensure MY safety (since I can really only trust myself with that) by placing both my bow AND backpack in front of the target. If the next group is right behind me I also ensure they understand I'm looking for an arrow. If partner is searching for an arrow I stand physically in front of the target and make contact with the group waiting to shoot and inform them they are not clear. After departing from the target I loudly shout clear, and will repeat until some sort of return is received from the group behind.
If I'm waiting on a group I do not shoot until I have visual on each person in that group and receive verbal confirmation they are clear.
