A 15-year-old boy was killed when he was struck in the head while playing a game of "dodging arrows" at a friend's house, and criminal charges could be possible, authorities said Monday.
Caleb Fairchild, an eighth-grader, was playing the bow-and-arrow game Saturday evening when he was hit by an arrow in in Chapmanville, about 45 miles south of Charleston, West Virginia State Police spokesman Lt. Michael Baylous said.

If you’re dodging arrows this was no accident.

I used to have a friend who would hide behind a tree at night and then jump out in front of cars just to scare the drivers.

When I was in college I threw the javelin. I was not real good, less than 200’.
When we practiced, another guy and I would throw back and forth on the football field. There was really no chance of getting hit. If the javelin was heading toward you, all you had to do was walk out of the way.
Now arrows would have been insane.

Hey! Let’s dodge mortar rounds!
Naw, too dangerous, how about bullets?
No, let’s be safe and just use arrows!
