If you want an authentic, archaeologically accurate Cherokee arrow that represents what the Cherokee actually used in prehistory, this is it. This arrow is a reconstruction based on authentic arrows I’ve examined in the Smithsonian as well as early Spanish accounts when they were exploring the deep Southeastern U.S. in the 1500’s. All the materials in the construction of this arrow also came from the original Cherokee homeland of north Georgia.
The main shaft is rivercane from North GA. The foreshaft is sparkleberry (a native wild blueberry), and it’s tipped with a triangular point of Coastal Plains flint that’s held with pine sap glue and deer sinew. It’s fletched with two turkey wing feathers and are secured with deer sinew. The fletch is trimmed in the unique southeastern style and they are twisted slightly to impart spin to the arrow when it’s shot, and this is a trait I saw on authentic Cherokee arrows. Shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Arrow length: 37 1/2 inches. Free shipping to all U.S. customers.

RIVERCANE IS BACK IN STOCK BUT I HAVE LIMITED QUANTITY AND IT GOES FAST, SO ORDER QUICKLY.
PLEASE NOTE: The Post Office recently increased their shipping costs on long items like arrow shafts, so that will translate into higher shipping costs. Also, the increase in fuel prices and inflation has forced me to increase prices on my cane shafts to make up for the added expense.
Shoot what Billy shoots…river cane! River cane is one of the best primitive arrow materials available; it’s easy to straighten and flies perfectly when properly matched to a bow. Its hard, waxy coating makes it very resistant to warpage and its density means it’s very durable. Cane is naturally hollow, making it perfect for adding foreshafts that can be tipped with different points to create arrows of wonderful versatility. These river cane arrow shafts are hand selected for uniformity, proper thickness taper and straightness. Rivercane will vary somewhat in wall thickness and spine, so these shafts are cut extra long to allow you to tune each piece of cane to fly well off your particular bow. These cane shafts are for serious big game hunting. They’ve proved deadly on deer, wild pigs, turkeys, and even tough South African Plains game.
