Hey Brum,
A word of caution! If you're swinging a graphite stick, those things are excellent conductors of electricity. I've never heard of anyone around here getting tagged by lightning but I'm told it happens occationally in the midwest and east coast where thunder showers are common. Its the carbon fibers in the rod that attract the bolts.
