[pct-l] Rebuilt poles

[Montedodge@aol.com]

 If you wish to make your own light tent poles or repair a set of broken 
alum. poles, go to an archery shop. Bring a pole you wish to replace. You can 
choose many different weights and diameters from arrow shafts which are top 
of the line alum. They can cut any arrow shaft down to a size that you want. 
If your sewing your own tent, this is a great way to get alum. poles for a 
hoop design. You can just shove a 6 " green stick in the hollow shaft to work 
as a connector. Arrow shafts can be bought out of cabelas Catolog for 36.00 a 
dozen which would be enough to built two or three tents depending on design. 
( Or just buy what you need from an archery shop.)  Or upgrade to graphite 
poles which are from graphite arrow shafts. Good Luck. Monte
