Ishi Aboriginal Point (NEW!)
$25.00This fresh-outta-the-shop arrowhead copies the ones Ishi made when he was living in his aboriginal homeland in the wilderness of Deer and Mill Creeks in Northern California. Ishi’s arrows were tipped with points of clear window glass just like this one; the glass was most likely scavenged from broken windows in old cabins. This fine point follows the exquisite workmanship that Ishi put into all his weapons. Free shipping within the U.S.

Ishi Point (NEW!)
$30.00This finely made glass arrow point copies the type of arrowheads that Ishi, “the last wild Indian of North America”, made and tipped his arrows with when he was still living in the wilds of northern California. Ishi made arrowheads from discarded glass bottles he found at old ranch dumps, and he’d also use pieces of window glass for his points. This point is made of window glass, and copies those that tipped his hunting arrows. His hunting points differ from the larger, Wintu style points he made after coming out of the wilderness. Scroll through the photos and you’ll also see a photo of Steve Allely with a deer he killed using replica Ishi archery gear. Rest assured these points work. This is a great gift for yourself or someone who loves the wild west, history, or Native American culture. Free shipping to all US customers.

Light Blue Glass Wintu Point (SOLD)
This exquisite Wintu point is made from a piece of ice blue glass. This long, lean point is 4″ long and just barely under 1″ in width at the base. It’s gorgeous, with delicate, upturned notches and a flat, symmetrical profile. Points of this size are difficult to make because they’re so easy to snap in half if your support isn’t perfect. Thankfully this one made it through the treacherous manufacturing process and this is the result.

Long Blue Glass Wintu Point SOLD
This cool looking Wintu point is made of blue glass and it has a very long, lean profile with delicately made upturned notches. This point is flat and also quite thin and is a beautiful example of fine flintknapped art. The Wintu people lived in Northern California near the town of Redding and originally they made their exquisite arrow points out of obsidian, but started using glass after white settlers moved in.
Arrowhead Specs: 3″ long x 1/2″ wide.

Modoc Arrow Replica 1
$155.00This 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.
Arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door.

Northern Africa Arrowhead Replica
$15.00This simple but pretty arrowhead is a copy of arrowheads used in Northern Africa around 8,000-12,000 years ago. They’re sometimes called “hollow base” points due to the deep, concave base. Large numbers of these points have been recovered from sand blow-outs created when high winds expose previously hidden artifacts. This point is made of pink chert and has a deep concave base with long ears that would have performed as barbs when the arrow struck its prey.
Archaeological evidence shows that after the last Ice Age the Sahara desert wasn’t even a desert back then. Frequent rainfall created lakes and streams that attracted large numbers of game, and with that came the humans who hunted them. Prehistoric encampments found on the shores of ancient lakes and rivers also contained the bones of the animals they hunted; zebra, hippos, wild cats, and even shorebirds indicate there was abundant water during that remote time. The subtle wobble in the earth’s rotation (which cycles every 26,000 years) began to shift weather patterns beginning around 4,500 years ago, ushering in much drier weather. Artifacts like this arrow point speak to a much more productive time before climate shifts drove the rainfall away and allowed the Sahara to dry up and become the desolate place it is today.
Arrowhead specs: Northern Africa (hollow base) arrowhead replica made of pink chert, 7/8″ long x 3/4″ wide. Free shipping within the U.S.

Northern California Paddle Bow and Arrows DVD (International Orders)
$38.00This page is for all international customers living outside the U.S.
Requiring over 3 1/2 years to film and produce, this is the most in-depth DVD ever made on constructing the exquisitely crafted sinew-backed bows and arrows used by the Hupa, Yurok, Karok, Maidu and surrounding tribes of Northern California. In this DVD author and primitive archer Billy Berger teams up Steve Allely, the world’s foremost authority on the archery gear of Northern California. They first give you a rare and privileged look at some very old original California paddle bows and arrows held in a private collection. Then they collect the very same materials the Natives used and show you, step-by-step, how to make these weapons based on the original artifacts. Every detail of construction is covered, from shaping the stave, sinewing the bow, making the unique nocks, and finally making the sinew string and painting the bow. Then they collect the same natural shoots the Natives used and they show how to make arrows identical to the original artifacts. This DVD is packed with information from start to finish. The completed weapon will be worthy of display in a museum, but will also prove just as deadly on big game. No other video is more in-depth on the paddle bows of the Northern California tribes than this one.
Run Time: 67 minutes.

Northern Paiute Arrow Replica
$145.00This 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 arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping within the U.S.
Arrow Specs: Northern Paiute replica, reed with hardwood foreshaft and obsidian point. 27-inches long.

Northern Paiute Arrow Replica
$170.00This beautiful arrow is a based on arrow fragments that were recovered in the 1930’s from Roaring Springs cave in SE Oregon. The fragments are currently in the collection of the Univ of Oregon Museum of Anthropology and I personally examined them while researching for the Northern Paiute Bow and Arrow video. If you’re interested in owning that video, click here.
The main shaft is reed with a hardwood foreshaft. It’s tipped with a small obsidian point that’s held in place with pine sap glue and a wrapping of deer sinew. It’s fletched with turkey tail feathers held with sinew. The paint design under the feathers copies the very paint design that was on the original arrow fragment, but unfortunately it was broken just a few inches in front of the feathers, so we don’t know what the front of the arrow looked like. So the paint design on the front is purely a guess, but it’s based on some other Paiute arrow fragments and common paint designs we’ve seen. This arrow comes with an information card and is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to you. Shipping to all U.S. customers is included in the price!
