Sioux Arrow Replica 3
$150.00This replica Sioux arrow is a copy of 4 matched Yankton Sioux arrows that were collected in 1869 and are currently in the Smithsonian. This arrow copies the originals in every respect. 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 green and blue paint 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 capable of inflicting serious wounds on enemy or prey alike. This arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to all U.S. destinations.
Arrow Specs: Yankton Sioux arrow replica, hardwood shoot, turkey wing feather fletch, metal point, deer sinew wraps. 26″ long.

Sioux Arrow Replica 5
$160.00This 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 dogwood, 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.
Arrow Specs: Replica Sioux Arrow (circa 1870’s), dogwood shoot, turkey wing and tail feather fletch, sinew wrappings, metal trade point made from circular saw blade. 26 1/16 inches long. Shipping is included with the price.

Tonkin Cane Arrowshafts (12 ct)
$69.00River cane may have just met its match! Tonkin cane is a type of bamboo that just might give river cane a run for its money. There are several distinct advantages that tonkin cane has over river cane. First, tonkin cane is denser and noticeably harder than river cane. Second, tonkin cane has much thicker walls than river cane, making it much stiffer than rivercane of equal diameter. This means tonkin cane arrows can be considerably smaller in diameter without sacrificing spine or flight quality. And because it’s denser, tonkin cane carries lethal momentum. Smaller diameter shafts encounter less resistance to penetration. That, combined with tonkin’s density, means tonkin cane arrows pack a deadly one-two punch. Don’t let a slim tonkin arrow fool you…this stuff is very durable and can withstand a tremendous amount of abuse without breaking. The front ends can be tapered to fit a field point, drilled out to accommodate hardwood foreshafts, or hunting points can simply be mounted right into the front of the cane. Unlike river cane, tonkin cane can have its diameter reduced to get it to a particular spine, and the nodes can be flattened to match the outside diameter of the rest of the shaft. These are raw shafts that will need heating and straightening. Supplies of this material are limited, so get it before it’s gone.

Wintu Arrow Replica 1
$165.00This arrow is a museum-quality copy of a set of 4 Northern California Wintu arrows in the Smithsonian’s collections that I got to examine in 2012. This arrows copies every aspect of the original arrows as closely as possible.
The main shaft is made of a syringa shoot. It’s fletched with Canada Goose wing feathers that are lashed front and back with sinew and also glued with hide glue. The paints are natural earth ochre and charcoal and they copy the original designs. The point is made of dacite, which is a grainier type of obsidian (the original points were also dacite, which I’ve never seen on original arrows before). The point is mounted to a short dogwood foreshaft with pine sap glue and a heavy wrapping of deer sinew.
The original arrows were noted to have been collected in northern California but the exact tribe was unknown, even though they had some Wintu traits that led me to believe they could be Wintu or a surrounding tribe. I was going to list this as a “mystery” tribe. But before I did, I consulted with the only west coast Native Bow expert I know (Steve Allely) as to his opinion on their tribal origin. He’s certain the original arrows were from the McCloud River Wintu, as they made some of the beefiest arrows of all the N. California tribes. And the original arrows certainly were beefy. I definitely trust his judgement on this topic and therefore will agree with his expert opinion wholeheartedly. Thank you very much Steve for your input on this. So there you go…McCloud River Wintu arrow, compliments of the expert Steve Allely.
