Was at a gun show last week, and there I snagged thirteen arrow shafts of aluminum--this is totally odd, because I draw 32 inches if I can get 'em. These were long enough--from two different tables. Much sweetness. They all had been used a lot: there remained chunks of previous fletchings clinging to the shaft, and each shaft had a decent nock. They all have threads for heads, of which I have many. More than three colors of shaft. Twelve bucks--nine shafts from one guy and four from another. At least the fletchings I put on will match.
I have two fletching jigs: one for twisted flight and one for straight flight. I'll do one feather a day on each jig, making two arrows every maybe three days unless I forget.
The point is, go to gun shows: you never know what your five bucks or what ever will present to you. At the very least you get to fondle guns you don't own.
I will put a pic if one presents itself.
