Primitive Arrow(s)

[Phillip McDonald]

Try Ryan. One of the first answers. The ones he typically sells are not period correct but he can make any era you want and they will be serviceable arrows. Just let him know what you’re wanting. If you don’t want to make your own he’ll be your best route. I think one of the traditional Bowyers Bible has arrow instructions on different ones. Can’t remember though.

Ash, Hickory, mulberry are what most people in the east used. Some used Osage gotten in trade.

Does anyone know who makes primitive Native American arrows, like the real deal. I know there are a multitude of styles Im looking for a Cherokee style of arrow, I would imagine being made with a flint type or bone arrow head. Not too knowledgeable in this area, I mainly just want an arrow for display and would also like to know where I can get more information on Cherokee weapons used in the western carolinas during the mid to later part of the 18th century, any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've made a bunch and sold them on ebay. Dogwood shaft, turkey feathers. stone, bone and metal points, but I use ARTIFICIAL sinew. I don't know what style you would call them but all primitive arrows are pretty similar. I can post pics if you want. Paul
