would it be possible to use old arrow shafts to make a decent stabilizer?

If you look at some of the older Beiter stabilizer designs, you might be inspired.

I’m sure you could. They could get rather large due to needing a bunch of arrows to get it stiff enough

Latest stabilizers I have made

These are solid quality products! Had a bunch custom made but these two specifically for hunter class shooting at tournaments and to hunt with. 2x 10" bars with extra flat and heavy weights to keep them skinny. My OAL on front stab with 12oz is still under 12" with QD and weights and still room to put more weight on if needed

I made a bunch of those back about 20 years. I had two lathes back then. Those stabs work very well.

A lot of time involved but man they look nice and work

That’s awesome. Love the polish.

Polishing aluminum sucks but I have it down

That polished aluminum does look great for a target stab. I make all of mine and paint the aluminum satin black then hit the whole stab with satin clear for my hunting set-up's. But polished looks great.

What do you put on the polished aluminum to keep it from oxidizing? A coat of wax?
