auto parts stores do not carry arrow stretchers....they are at the lumber yard net to the 2x stretchers.
I did see them at the lumber yard too. But still can't find those toe nails the boys on the job were talking about....   :dunno:

Yes, sell and buy a carbon brand that comes in 32" length.

Sounds like a ton of wasted time and trouble.  If they are new, post em for sale, at half, move em, and buy new ones and start over.

I've  aluminum footed with aluminum for my stumping arrows as indicate throughout this post. A 2 1/2. - 2215 footing with insert over a 2016 shaft It added 7/8 of an inch. Arrows flew well and were much more resistant to front end bends as aluminums normally are. It took a hit into a frozen log to have the footing fail and then it did not bend. I want to say the footing added 25grs but I'd have to re weigh them. it gave a new life many of my discarded arrows.

I would try one or two arrows and see how they work for you.

Fujimo,

well, maybe not wasted.  How about just using them for shooting small game.  Get some glue on judo's and glue them onto full length aluminum or steel adaptors.  That should give you a little extra length for clearance.  

Or, instead of using screw in adaptors and some sort of insert, getcha some of those brass inserts that are the insert and adaptor all in one, and still use the judos.

If you use large 5.5" fletching you can get away with a lot of non-tuning issues, and just enjoy them for what they are.... a learning experience and bunny arrows !
