I've used the Walmart arrow shaft thing for a few years and have yet to have one fail. Get the shafts pretty cheap, cut the ends off and cut the shaft to length. Plug both the ends with a piece of wooden dowel ( from the arts and craft section of Walmart) and then drill and install the 4/40 or 6/32 threaded rod in the ends and CA to make secure. Have been using these for my elevator pushrods without issue.

Central Hobbies but for most of the CF rods I use I buy arrow shafts. They come in two sizes, the small shafts are for over draw bows.
