I still like the fletching!  Make'em go straight down the bore!  
If the rifleing twist is the opposite direction, will it cause it to stop mid bore?   It is a great idea, ya done good

I used a spare Dewey rod adapter the one you use to put a bore brush on.
I cut the field tip off flush the drilled it the size of the brush adapter. Then epoxied the whole thing to the rod.  I hammered the adapter into the arrow shaft a little ways too...  
I will need to find better looking handle material but it works I used it yesterday....

Very Cleverly done.  I have several Wooden shafts, some with fletching, some without.  A very wise and economical use for these old shafts.
