All the Iroquois tribes originally used fairly long bows as their main weapon in hunting and warfare. Mohawk bows were made of hickory, about 6 feet long, recurved and decorated with shallow scoops along all four angles along the entire length of the bow. Strings were of plant fibre and handle and tips might be wrapped with coloured yarn.

Arrows were about 35 inches long and had a very distinctive style of fletching, with very shallow nocks for the string.

Secondary weapons inclded "ball-headed" wooden clubs or various other types of club. Guns were quickly adopted when they became available from white traders - these replaced bows in warfare among all the Iroquois tribes.
