: Here is a picture of the tri axel braiding machine that we used to make the
: mast above. It is set up with a combination of glass and carbon spool
: right now. It is very cool to see all of those spools spinning and
: braiding around the mast mandrel.

Carbon fibre arrows have been around for several years now - is the mast made the same way but bigger?
