no... the string broke... you can see it flapping. Also the the recurve is totally untentioned with the limbs forward. This never happens while the sting is in place.
Nice catch. It looks as though you're exactly right.
I have to wonder what kind of arrowhead that is on the arrow in the intact-bowstring photo. Doesn't look particularly harmful to me.
It's called a Blunt Point. They technically are for small game hunting when you do not want to put holes in the hides but they are often used in target practice applications where there are regulations around dangerous weapons. I would not be surprised if this is the only type of tip the University allows on their archery range.
