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.
Arrow Specs: Sioux arrow, 26 1/2 inches long, turkey wing feather fletch, orange and green earth paints.

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.
Arrow Specs: Yankton Sioux arrow replica, hardwood shoot, turkey wing feather fletch, metal point, deer sinew wraps. 26″ long.

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 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.

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.
