Looking for 8mm Carbon Rod

[Meniscus]

Hello all! I'm hoping someone can help me locate some shorter lengths of 8mm carbon rod, preferably solid core. Longer lengths are OK as well.

If you know where to get it, please let me know!

I just sent an email to a guy I think has a lead for what your looking for

will get back to you soon

Thanks for all the input guys!

I believe the .312" may work and depending on how it goes, I may consider the tubing vice the solid core.

bustitup, I'm an archer, but I don't remember any of my carbon arrows being that size. I believe some of the aluminum ones may be. Was that a guess or do you have knowledge of their diameters? It could be that there are larger diameter ones for crossbows. I only use a compound bow or a long bow, depending on the game hunted.

Ben could you fill the tube with resin in your app

The archery was what I found searching

I thought about filling it, but I was concerned about the proper cure, among other things. Plus, I figure it would probably be better to go with solid. I've also considered running another rod inside, but at that point, I stopped pondering it as I thought I was overthinking the solution. I seem to do a lot of that.

None in metric sizes but maybe if you call and ask Bob or Barbara they may be able to steer you towards metric sizes
