Maybe those shafts would be good for trying out some tie-on fletching.  I have been using Eastern two fletch lately with good results.  You would still need the sinew or thread wraps to stick, but surely they would if you roughed up those spots?

I finally figured out that TBIII sticks to it.  Not the handiest fletching glue, but it seems to give a good, strong bond and slow fletching is  better than throwing out the shafts.  I did try tying on some flecthes with silk thread, but I think that's a learning project for another day.
