From the archaeological record, the arrowheads (where the Cherokee lived) were basically triangular.  They had straight or concave bases and a length to width ratio of between 2:1 to 3:1.

The main point types were Madison, Yadkin, and Hamilton.  Arrowheads with convex sides (rounded outward) were rare.

Here's the page from JH's book.  My arrowheads are placed on the page for scale.  As you can see, at the time these Cherokee arrows were collected the Cherokee favored the triangular type.

I will add that the non-triangular arrowheads in the book are an odd shape.  The vast majority of arrowheads east of the Mississippi were widest at the base, with the exception of Nodena points.  And these points were used by Quapaw Indians that lived west of the Cherokee.

 That is the style I hunt with more then any. In Florida the point was called Pinellis. A Hernando was basicly the same point but with very shallow notches in the base.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yeah that point will make meat!

Hey, I remember you posting that you've driven through my area in the past and had a student tell me a story about a truck driver that made a bamboo arrow with flint head as a gift to his mom in Scottsburg/north Vernon IN. Was that you? I don't know any other truck drivers that are into primitive gear.
