THIS RIVERCANE IS TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT. I WILL REPLENISH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
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 almost indestructable. 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.

A museum-quality replica Yankton Sioux arrow that copies a set in the Smithsonian.
This replica Sioux arrow is a copy of 4 matched Yankton Sioux arrows that were collected in 1869 and are currently in the Smithsonian. This arrow copies the originals in every respect. 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 green and blue paint 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 capable of inflicting serious wounds on enemy or prey alike. This arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Free shipping to all U.S. destinations.
Arrow Specs: Yankton Sioux arrow replica, hardwood shoot, turkey wing feather fletch, metal point, deer sinew wraps. 26″ long.
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.
