Wintu and Pawnee Arrows SOLD

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.
