    I saw some 72" fiberglass poles for marking a driveway at Home Depot. Cheap, less than $5 each.

    My first pole was made of these, with small aluminum nipples between the joints.. I think the seven poles were about 15" each, with the middle pole being a bit shorter. The nipples were glued to one end of the each pole, with none on the center section. The fiberglass was a little too whippy.. CF arrow shafts are much stiffer.
