1. Try hollow fiberglass blank arrows. (if the available length is long
enough) They used to be available at certain sporting goods stores, or
you could buy an arrow and cut the ends off.


I spoke to a friend of mine who works in the archery business (Parker Bows),
and he says that hollow fiberglass is almost non-existant now. Everything
has switched over to carbon fiber tubes. He says the blanks are about 32"
long before being made into arrows, so that might limit their uses.
