  • Cheyenne Arrow Replica 2

    $160.00

    This arrow is Made to Order. Please allow 14 days for arrow to be completed once the order is placed.

    This is a spot-on copy of a set of 4 authentic Cheyenne/Arapaho arrows acquired in the 1870’s and currently held in the Smithsonian’s collection in Washington, D.C. I examined the originals back in 2016. This arrow copies the originals in every respect.

    The shaft is made of a beautifully straight dogwood shoot. It has 3 straight shaft grooves. The metal point is made from a discarded circular saw blade that was cut out, shaped on a grinder, then blackened to replicate the metal trade point on the original arrow. Then the edges were ground and sharpened to expose the fresh, silver metal underneath (just like the original point). The fletch is a mix of one turkey wing and two turkey tail feathers that are secured on each end with real sinew and glued to the shaft with hide glue. Many of the arrows in the set had a mix of different feathers like turkey wing and tail and some even combined eagle and turkey feathers on the same arrow. This was very common on the Plains. The paint design copies the originals exactly.

    This arrow represents why the Cheyenne and their allies were so feared by those foolish enough to venture onto the Plains without adequate firepower. When launched from the short, powerful bows of the horse-mounted warriors, this arrow could kill a 2,000 lb bison with one shot.

    This is a great gift for someone who loves history, Native American art, or the wild west. Shipped to you in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Information card included.

    This is a made-to-order item. Allow at least one week for completion, though it can take as long as 14 days depending on workload. Though there may be some slight differences in the arrow you get, it will very closely resemble the one in the photo.

  • Cheyenne/Arapaho Arrow 4

    $155.00

    This arrow is a spot-on copy of an authentic Cheyenne/Arapaho arrow from the late 1800’s that’s in the Smithsonian’s collection.  The shaft is a hardwood shoot.  It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers (mixing feathers was a common trait on many Plains arrows).  The feathers are secured front and back with sinew and are glued with hide glue.  It also has inserted fluffs in front of the feathers.  The point is made from a circular saw blade and it copies the metal trade points that were made by blacksmiths and traded to the Plains tribes during those times.  The shaft has 3 straight shaft grooves that go from the forward fletch wraps and extend all the way to the point.  The arrow is 27 1/2 inches long.

    These arrows were one reason the Plains tribes were so feared by early travelers.  In fact, soldiers were told to “keep one bullet for yourself” if they ever faced capture by the fearsome Plains Indians.  I’m glad I never had to face that scenario.

    Comanche Arrow Replica

    $140.00

    This replica Comanche arrow is an exact copy of one that’s in a set of 16 in the Smithsonian that I personally examined back in 2014. The group of arrows was part of a complete archery set including the bow, quiver and bowcase that was captured off a Comanche warrior in 1868 near Paint Creek, Texas. This arrow copies the original in every aspect.

    The shaft is made of a dogwood shoot. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and tail feathers (a very common feature of many Plains arrows). The fletch is secured front and back with sinew but they aren’t glued to the shaft, just like with the original I copied.. The paint design copies the original. The dark blue is laundry bluing, which many southern Plains arrows were decorated with during that time. They would obtain the bluing from settlers and use it to decorate their arrows. The shaft has 3 straight shaft grooves that were common on many Plains arrows. The front of the shaft is tapered and it’s tipped with a metal point made from a circular saw blade and it’s held with a wrapping of deer sinew and the front is also decorated with laundry bluing. Although difficult to see in the photos, the front of the shaft has small dents made by holding the shaft with the teeth when the shaft was straightened. The original arrow also had these same dents from the same technique, so I followed suit.

    This arrow is one of the reasons the Comanche came to dominate the southern Plains. Their fierce fighting capabilities, coupled with their expertise on the horse is why they were called Lords of the Prairie. Here’s your chance to own a copy of a real piece of American history.
