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.

No, he didn't say. Sorry.

I suspect they're not generally available. From what I've heard before,
these are made with their super secret process, and each manufacturer is
slightly different. Not important when making an antenna, but the bow
hunters have their preferences.

Hi Gerry

Thanks for the reply. I was actually being lazy. I could probably have
searched for a source of fiberglass tubes, but I thought I'd take advantage
of your familiarity.
