They were basically just high speed pointy sticks, and would take a long time to bleed a person out.
I like how the article tries to point out that they were "competition arrows", as if that makes any difference at all. Pointy sticks are pointy sticks - presence of a graphite shaft or plastic fletching does not make them any more deadly. The deadly part of an arrow is the arrowhead - everything else is just a delivery system...
I've looked around for any other 'arrow'-images from the incident and apart from the one seen above,
the other official imaged of the arrow-use is the first one close to a letter-box in the image below.
