I knew arrows could be expensive.... BUT...

years ago in the 90s , in Santa Fe during Indian Market ,there were a couple guys making traditional arrows right there on the plaza,
flaking points,straightening shafts, sinew wrapping fletchings and trading them for a $100.00 bill.....
there was a long line of tourists waiting with money in their hands.

The market ain't as good here in the Black Hills.  They go for about $70 each.  Consequently, the shafts are 3/8 poplar from the hardware store, $1 tourist trade crap-ola points, white farm turkey feathers, and artificial sinew. 

On the other hand, I will make the real deals from chokecherry shoots, wild turkey feathers, real sinew, and knapped points from you guys on the dark side that provide me with points....and without tribal enrollment papers I can't get $10!  I get the sense these buyers are not so much interested in collecting accurate replicas as much as buying indulgences from the Church of Racial Guilt.

Does this guy actually sell any?

Probably to Gomers

Funny thing to me is that somebody actually has quite a bit of time into that arrow if it is wrapped in as much thread as it looks like in the picture....or maybe I am just real slow at thread wrapping.

Grab a spool of thread, paint some glue on the arrow, stick it into a power drill, and turn it on max speed...
