After reading that spit balls was one of Howard Hills favorite past times, I found that carbon shafts make a great spit ball tube.... Introduced my 7year old to it and she had fun....
How do you re-use your broken shafts?

Same here. I cut old carbons in half then glue a slightly larger diameter piece of aluminum to one end,kind of like a footing but leave about an inch or two of over hang. This way you can break the stake down into two pieces for easy transport.

Take the nock ends and cut them 4" long and drill holes into a piece of wood and epoxy them in.they make great coat,hat or bow racks. And always keep a short nock end for tying nock points on it makes a great guide. And the aluminum arrow pieces can be made into a wind chime with an old broadhead (dull of course) as the center piece for them to clng against.

When I did some offshore fishing I would take a aluminum shaft around 12" long and file one end sharp with a file. I used it to remove the eyeballs from my Ballyhoo when I preped them for a days fishing offshore

They prop up my bag target when the target is on the ground. It makes it easy for me to move the bag target around to different spots like just peaking out from behind a bush.

I've made a few into short pieces for sharpening b-heads and spin testing b-heads that I glue onto adapters, I just finished making a coat rack for my apartment with a few shorter pieces for the pegs and 2 longer pieces I fletched up and put on the ends; it looks pretty good. I've also used them as a mag plug for my waterfowling bow

Just thought of this: It seems like a good way to carry a few matches in a short piece by sealing off one end and using a tight fitting nock on the other.
Edit: The more I think about this I think I'm gonna make one and drill a small hole through the nock so it can be worn as a keychain or necklace.
