Cheyenne weapons were much the same as for all Plains tribes. The main weapon was always the bow and arrows, the bow being about 45 to 52 inches long if made of wood (ash or hickory) and about 33 inches if made of sheep horn and sinew. Arrows were 25 to 28 inches and often painted with rings around the feathered end; feathers were of hawk, eagle or turkey. By the mid-19th century all Cheyenne arrow points were of metal obtained from white traders.
Some trade axes ("tomahawks") were used, plus war clubs with stone heads or shaped like a gunstock inset with metal knife blades (knives were also a common trade item).
Cheyenne warriors also obtained guns from trading posts, sometimes old and poorly-made flintlock and percussion weapons, but sometimes up-to-date repeaters such as the Henry rifle. They also obtained percussion pistols such as the Navy Colt, but preferred their own native weapons.
Lances were generally the emblem of a particular warrior society such as the Dog Soldiers.
