Two fletch "TsaLaGi" (Cherokee) arrows
« on: July 14, 2009, 06:47:03 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.
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  ill make four more with turkey wing feathers.
What do you guys think.
WaDo,(thanks)

I love the way you got the goose feather to lay flat.  Are they wing or tail feathers?

nice arrows. I just fletched one the same way but with turkey tail and I love the way it flys. I might just start doing all my personnal arrows this way. It uses less resources and is just as effective and makes very distinctive arrows.

I agree John they fly very well.
I have to admit i was suprised the 1st time i shot an arrow with this fletching. I really did'nt think it would work.
I dont know why though, If it did'nt work my people would have never adopted this style. lol

Good looking arrows. Did you knap the points, too?

With a nice whitetail shed and a belt sander and a saw you can make all the tools you need in a few minutes time

I hope you kill more than one deer this year my friend. I am so happy to see so many here returning to the old ways.

oSiYo John
 I have never killed a deer before so 1 sounds great to me!! lol
I'll take as many deer as the good Lord will send my way though ...as long as its with in legal limits..lol
 I want my first deer to be a primitive kill like my ancient ancestors would have done it. That would make it it so much more special.
