This is a museum-quality replica of a Modoc arrow that was in the collection of the late Dr. Bert Grayson. The shaft is made from a syringa shoot. It’s fletched with turkey wing feathers and all the paint is natural earth ochre and charcoal. The side-notched point is made of obsidian from Glass Buttes, Oregon. It’s secured with pine sap glue and deer sinew, and the feathers are wrapped on both ends with deer sinew and they’re also glued to the shaft with hide glue, just like the original.
This arrow isn’t foreshafted…it’s a single shoot. The sinew wrap towards the front of the arrow is painted with ochre, and it’s believed these sinew wraps were draw point markers to help the archer draw each arrow consistently, which promoted consistent arrow placement when hunting.
The Modoc lived along Klamath Lake along the California/Oregon border.

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.

This replica Apache arrow copies numerous authentic Apache arrows in the Smithsonian that were collected in the late 1800’s. This arrow is identical to the others I offer here, but this one has a metal point and the foreshaft is painted black.
This arrow has a reed main shaft with a hardwood foreshaft that’s painted black and it’s tipped with an iron point made from an old barrel hoop. This arrow is fletched with turkey wing and tail feathers and all wrappings are real deer sinew. About half the Apache arrows I examined were tipped with metal points, and the other half were stone tipped, indicating the Apaches were still making and using stone arrowheads, but would also employ metal points when they could acquire them.

This beautiful arrow is a spot-on, museum-quality replica of one that’s part of a set of Miwok arrows from central California that are currently held in the Smithsonian’s collections. Every intricate detail of the original arrow is faithfully copied on this replica.
The shaft is made from a beautifully straight Oceanspray shoot. It’s tipped with an obsidian point that copies the unique shape of the obsidian points that were on the original arrows I examined. The point is held with pine pitch glue and then wrapped on with deer sinew.
The fletch is 3 turkey tail feathers that are wrapped on both ends with deer sinew and glued to the shaft with hide glue, just like the originals. The paint design exactly copies the original arrows.
Look closely at the shaft under the feathers and also behind the point…you’ll notice very fine rings sanded into the shaft that resemble threads on a machine screw. These same rings were present on the original arrows, and they’re a very common feature of Miwok arrows, as well as Hupa and Yurok arrows from farther north. These rings are created by sanding with horsetail rush. Creating these grooves is a time-consuming and painstaking operation.
Arrow Specs: Replica Sierra Miwok arrow from central California, oceanspray shoot, earth pigment paints, obsidian tip, 28″ long. Shipped in sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door.

This beautiful replica arrow is a spot-on copy of a set of 3 matched arrows in the Smithsonian’s collection. This arrow copies the originals in every respect.
The shaft is made of a beautifully straight hardwood shoot and it has 3 straight shaft grooves. It’s fletched with 3 turkey wing feathers wrapped front and back with sinew and glued to the shaft with hide glue. The metal point is made from a circular saw blade that’s been blackened and then ground to shape to expose the fresh silver metal along the edges, just like the original point. The point is also held on with a secure wrapping of sinew. The shaft has been painted with orange and green earth pigments I collected and processed into paint….those are NOT store-bought colors. That’s super cool because the earth pigments match the colors on the original arrows perfectly. Shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to all U.S. customers.

This arrow is a copy of a set of 5 matched Yankton Sioux arrows collected in 1869 that are in the Smithsonian’s collections. Every aspect of the original arrows has been copied on this arrow. The shaft is made of a hardwood shoot and it’s fletched with turkey wing feathers. The point is made from a circular saw blade. Sinew wrappings secure the feathers and the point. The red and blue paint are modern acrylics, but very closely match the colors on the original arrows. This arrow was associated with a sinew backed bow that had rather thick limbs and was likely a very powerful bow. Its estimated draw weight was around 60 lbs, and would have been a serious war/hunting weapon. This arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to all US destinations.

This Sioux arrow replica copies a set of 4 matching original Wahpeton Sioux arrows in the Smithsonian’s collection. The shaft is a hardwood shoot that’s been painted yellow. The sinew wraps holding the point are painted blue and there’s a blue band under the feathers. The shaft has 3 straight shaft grooves, just like the artifacts did. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey tail and turkey wing feather that are wrapped front and back with sinew and glued to the shaft with hide glue. The feathers are cropped really low and close to the shaft, just like the originals. It has the typical flared nock that was present on many Sioux arrows, and has a long, lean, very sharp metal point with barbed corners, also like the originals.
It’s a beauty, and copies every aspect of the original ones. The point itself is scary looking because of its long, lean, deep-penetrating shape. Imagine getting hit with a point like that….NO THANKS! Shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to destinations within the U.S.

This beautiful arrow is a spot-on copy of one of a set of Sioux (Lakota) arrows that were collected off the northern Plains in the late 1800’s and are now in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. This arrow copies the originals in every respect.
The shaft is made of a hardwood shoot, as was the original. It has 3 shaft grooves that begin at the forward fletch wrap and stop just short of the point. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and one turkey tail feather (Plains warriors often mixed different feather types on a single arrow). The feathers are secured on each end with sinew and the front sinew wrap is an open coil, which was very common trait on Sioux arrows I’ve examined. The front web of the feathers are left long, creating pretty “tails” that were present on the original arrows, and the feathers are glued to the shaft with hide glue (just as they were on the artifacts I saw). The metal point is made from a circular saw blade and it matches the points on the original arrows. The point is wrapped on with a sinew and then sealed with hide glue. The paint design copies the one on the arrows and the nock is slightly flared, which gave the Plains warrior a better grip when the arrow was shot using the Pinch-grip. This arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Click photos for larger images.
This arrow is a faithful copy of the original and is based on years of research in museums across the country. It’s a stout, heavy missile that would have been shot from a short but powerful sinew backed bow. The stout metal point and heavy shaft would carry tremendous momentum at close range and would have undoubtedly inflicted a serious wound on an enemy or brought down a buffalo with one shot.

This is a spot-on copy of a set of 4 matching Sioux/Lakota arrows from the Northern Great Plains. The artifacts are in the Smithsonian’s collection and were originally acquired in the 1870’s. This arrow copies every aspect of the originals and is a museum-quality replica.
The shaft is dogwood, with 3 straight shaft grooves that go from the forward fletch wrap to the point. The metal arrowhead is made from a circular saw blade that’s been blackened to mimic the original trade points, then the edges were ground to expose the silver metal underneath. The tip is rounded, which some trade points had. This was to cause the point to glance off heavy bone and continue forward instead of piercing the bone and stopping the arrow’s forward momentum. The point is held in place with a strong wrapping of sinew.
The fletch is 3 turkey wing feathers secured with sinew and glued with hide glue. The feathers have been dyed yellow, just like the feathers on the original arrow. And finally the red and blue paint design copies the design on the original arrow.
This arrow is shipped to you in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to all destinations within the U.S.

This group of replica arrows consists of 2 Wintu arrows from Northern California and 2 Pawnee arrows from the central Plains. The Wintu arrows have main shafts of syringa with hardwood shoot foreshafts tipped with obsidian points held with pine sap glue and deer sinew. They’re fletched with turkey wing feathers that are also held with sinew. The paint design copies those arrows exactly. These arrows copy a set of 15 matched Wintu arrows once owned by archery Hall of Famer Dr. Bert Grayson and are now in the archery collection at the Univ. of Missouri.
The Pawnee arrows are hardwood shoot shafts fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers. The wing feathers are set as the cock feather and are also dyed yellow. They’re secured front and back with deer sinew. The iron tips are made from old barrel hoops like the old ones were and they’re also held with a wrapping of deer sinew. These arrows are copied after a set of Pawnee arrows that were part of an entire archery set that included a bow, bowcase and quiver that was auctioned off several years ago and are now in a private collection.
