This slim, sleek arrow is a museum-quality replica of authentic Anasazi/Cliff Dweller arrows that have been recovered in caves and rockshelters in the Four Corners region of the American southwest. This arrow copies every aspect of construction of the originals, including plant species and materials.
The shaft is made from reed which I recently collected in western Colorado. It has a hardwood foreshaft of greasewood from that same region and it’s tipped with a small side-notched stone point made of fine grained basalt from northern Arizona. The point is secured with pine sap glue and deer sinew wrapping. The arrow is fletched with wing feathers from a wild turkey and the feathers are quite short as many of the original arrows had. It also has a hardwood plug that’s been inserted into the rear of the hollow reed to make the nock crush-proof when the arrow was drawn and shot. These same nock plugs were used in authentic arrows, and I could see the small growth rings of the small twig that was used as the plug. So I did the exact same thing with this arrow and made the nock plug from a small twig. The area under the feathers is painted red.
This arrow would have been used to take medium and large sized game. The small stone point is identical to the authentic points that can still be found lying in the desert today. These small points focus the limited momentum of this lightweight arrow into a very small point, allowing for lethal penetration on large game. My own personal experiments have proved that the rather light draw weight bows of the Anasazi people and arrows like this one could bring down large game like deer and bighorn sheep.

This replica Comanche arrow is an exact copy of one that’s in a set of 16 in the Smithsonian that I personally examined back in 2014. The group of arrows was part of a complete archery set including the bow, quiver and bowcase that was captured off a Comanche warrior in 1868 near Paint Creek, Texas. This arrow copies the original in every aspect.
The shaft is made of a dogwood shoot. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers (a very common feature of many Plains arrows). The fletch is secured front and back with sinew but they aren’t glued to the shaft, just like with the original I copied.. The paint design copies the original. The dark blue is laundry bluing, which many southern Plains arrows were decorated with during that time. They would obtain the bluing from settlers and use it to decorate their arrows. The shaft has 3 straight shaft grooves that were common on many Plains arrows. The front of the shaft is tapered and it’s tipped with a metal point made from a circular saw blade and it’s held with a wrapping of deer sinew and the front is also decorated with laundry bluing. Although difficult to see in the photos, the front of the shaft has small dents made by holding the shaft with the teeth when the shaft was straightened. The original arrow also had these same dents from the same technique, so I followed suit.
This arrow is one of the reasons the Comanche came to dominate the southern Plains. Their fierce fighting capabilities, coupled with their expertise on the horse is why they were called Lords of the Prairie. Here’s your chance to own a copy of a real piece of American history.

The shaft is tipped with a long, lean metal point made from a barrel hoop, which is the same material used for points by the Plains Indians. It’s held with a wrapping of deer sinew and the front is also decorated with laundry bluing.

This arrow is a copy of an authentic Northern Paiute arrow that’s currently in the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This arrow is believed to have come from the Paiute living in Northern Nevada, around Pyramid Lake. The main shaft is made of reed, with a hardwood foreshaft. The foreshaft is painted red and it’s tipped with a Desert Side Notched point of obsidian that’s glued in place with pine sap glue and a wrapping of deer sinew. It’s fletched with turkey wing feathers that are applied with a pronounced twist. This imparts spin to the arrow in flight to improve stability and accuracy. It also has two bands of red painted under the feathers.
