Title: My Cherokee 2 fletch arrows...
Post by: SirRobin77 on July 14, 2009, 06:02:00 PM
oSiYo,(Hello)
Here are a few more TsaLaGi GaTliDa (Cherokee arrows) I made up.
Im hoping to take a deer this fall with a completely primitive TsaLaGi (Cherokee) setup. Kinda getting back to my roots type thing since im part Cherokee.
Here are 3 of the 12 arrows i made to get ready for fall. These are fletched with Grey goose feathers,i have 1 more to make with goose feathers.The next four arrows will be fletched with turkey tail feathers,then i'll make four more with turkey wing feathers.
What do you guys think.
WaDo,(thanks)

Kick-butt!!! Dang those look like some serious mojo!

I'm interested in the fletching, I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at there... Can you show us some pics with some detail as to how you fletch?

Thanks, (Gracias)

Matt,

Awesome arrows. My great grandma was 100% Cherokee. I am currently in the middle of Al Harrin's book. I'm really wanting to hunt with a Cherokee set up that I build myself. Are there any other good resources for Cherokee bows and arrows?

Thanks

T.J.

In reference to learning tsalagi The Nation at Tahlequah, Ok has a free on line class which might interest you.  The latest session ended the last of June.  They will probably begin new classes this fall.  Check by going to Cherokee  www.cherokee.org (http://www.cherokee.org)

What is the shaft material used in the arrows.  I've used ramin wood, port orford cedar, dogwood and river cane.  Although hard to keep straight dogwood rates best for me because of their weight.  I achieve much better penetration with them.

Yea ive seen where they offer the classes and im planning on taking that course. Im glad they offer that.
The shafts are made from cane that i sanded the entire shaft to be smooth. i started with a shafts that were a little to thick then sanded to my desired spine.
