Hey, there was a chicken out target ;)   (I still to this day am amazed
at how SOME bow/arrow combinations would just deflect off the rebar and
into the target.   And others would just barely nick the rebar and the
arrow would explode.   With no discernible difference between the
ammo/bow combination)

But anyway, I'd assume that the rebar being sheathed by PVC, would
actually protect the arrow fairly well.   The arrow would probably
deflect or slightly stick into the pvc ...

I'm guessing.   Perhaps I need to head out back and do some tests.
