It seems to be rigid, but its not. If you shake a length of PVC like that it will seem like a wet noodle, so avoid using PVC for structural use either, except when recommended in build plans.FYI: Electrical Properties of Carbon Fibre Materials in fol. U.K. Report:

Carbon Rods they tested were fairly conductive....but actual "Conductivity" was very poor...much worse than Stainless Steel....but we've also seen claims that Carbon Fibre is "transparent" to Radar frequencies....so it would still be interesting to see a report on how effective it would be as TV antenna elements....
So what is the End-to-End Resistance measurement for a Carbon Fibre Arrow Shaft (please provide dimensions, incl. diameter)??? [VOM or Milliohm capable DVM should do the job....if your meter has it, also try Transconductance function.]
