Native American Archery Equipment

Traditional Bows by Charles Acuna

Charles Acuna is widely considered to be the finest artisan of native American archery equipment working today.

Charles uses many traditional natural materials to create beautiful arrows. They are always hand fletched, whether with true wild turkey feathers or domestic turkey feathers. Each piece is unique and much of the variety of original period pieces is represented here, not only due to availability, but also out of artistic selection. Various natural shaft materials are used, and heads of metal, flint and other stones are represented. Each piece is unique and each is priced based individually.
