This pretty little Pueblo Side Notched point is made from a colorful piece of Mookaite jasper from Australia. This little point sports a lot of different colors: Pink on the tip and one corner ear, a small splash of red, and purple in the center of the point. This point also has narrow, deep notches and fine diagonal ribbon flaking. A pretty little point.

This obsidian knife is based on authentic Hupa Indian knives from Northern California. This knife has an obsidian blade set into a handle of Pacific yew. The handle has both the lighter sapwood and darker heartwood. That has significance since the Hupa also made their exquisite paddle bows from Pacific yew. The rounded shape of the knife blade works perfectly with the natural pivot of our wrists to maximize the efficiency of the knife’s ability to remove the skin from large game like deer. Total length of knife is 7 1/4 inches long. Free shipping to all US customers.
THIS RIVERCANE IS BACK IN STOCK BUT I ONLY HAVE 24 RIVERCANE ARROW SHAFTS, 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. Click through the photos to see a kudu taken with a single rivercane arrow. That’s all the proof you need.
This beautiful arrow is a spot-on, museum-quality replica of one that’s part of a set of Miwok arrows from central California that are currently held in the Smithsonian’s collections. Every intricate detail of the original arrow is faithfully copied on this replica.
The shaft is made from a beautifully straight Oceanspray shoot. It’s tipped with an obsidian point that copies the unique shape of the obsidian points that were on the original arrows I examined. The point is held with pine pitch glue and then wrapped on with deer sinew.
The fletch is 3 turkey tail feathers that are wrapped on both ends with deer sinew and glued to the shaft with hide glue, just like the originals. The paint design exactly copies the original arrows.
Look closely at the shaft under the feathers and also behind the point…you’ll notice very fine rings sanded into the shaft that resemble threads on a machine screw. These same rings were present on the original arrows, and they’re a very common feature of Miwok arrows, as well as Hupa and Yurok arrows from farther north. These rings are created by sanding with horsetail rush. Creating these grooves is a time-consuming and painstaking operation.

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.

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.

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.
