        another quick option is to use a mandrel of the correct timeter, put saran wrap over it, roll preperg on it, and put a electric heat shrink tube on it. shrink the tube with a heat gun, and put it in the oven at 150F for a few hours. Make tur you put it on tin foil on a tray, because extra epoxy will leak out. It will however, make dragon plate quality CF.

          Sounds like a good idea. Thx. I might try that if I don't hear anything in the next day or so.

            I've got some short pieces of .625" ID.

            How long does it need to be?

                I just measured. 5 to 6 inches would work.

                        Have you looked at a local sporting goods store for CF arrow shafts? Not sure about od and id sizes but there are a few different ones. I think Kintec might have some also. Good luck.
