Eastern red cedar
is
a juniper, since it is a species in the
Juniperus
genus.
Not all junipers are eastern red cedars, but all eastern red cedars are junipers.

We do seem to hear less stories of exploding western varieties of juniper so it must be a bit tougher. Of course the western style bows backed with sinew likely flatter that somewhat.
The juniper species do hybridize where the ranges overlap and that includes ERC and Western types.
