Just out of college I worked for a pultrusion (composite analog to extrusion) company. If it was constant cross section, we could make it, in any length you wanted. We made parts for the Stealth Bomber, telescoping masts for the Army, a towline for the Navy, tubing for Kestrel, arrows for Browning and the death of the company, hockey sticks for Bauer, one of the first. Instead of taking the $5M, 3 year contract, the owners sold the entire company to Bauer and moved it to Canada.
I managed the business side of the company way back in 1993, if we had stayed in business, I would have had an entirely different life, but composites have stayed with me and will be getting back into them. Just have to learn all the latest fabrication techniques.
