Tyke told me to post these. They shoot as straight as my skill allows, and  I like how they turned out. I hope you like them too

Nice
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

They look great! I'm fletching a set of bamboo arrows as we speak.

That's some good looking arrows.

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

Those arrows looking good. You did the quiver also? Very nice. I too thought a simularity on the symble. But still a good job. Could you provide a close up of both the front and back end of the arrow.

Yes I made the quiver too.  Leather from Tandy, Since I don't have a hole punch, I drilled each thread hole with a hand drill.  I counted once, and I think there are something like 500 holes.  Stitching is artificial sinew.  The design is a Celtic/norse knot design I found on Google.  It doesn't show up well in the pictures but there is a rune inscription on the wings in old Norse that says something like "keeper of arrows"--although my Old Norse isn't very good, so I may have gotten an ending wrong. ;)
