Put it back in your fletching jig at the rig setting and use DUCO or fletch tite to glue that loose fletch right back in place.

If it is only a half inch you could put a little super glue gel on and hold it in place till it sticks.

Or you could cut the loose end off. A half inch will not be noticed. Lay a drop of glue at the end, or wrap it, and keep on shooting.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

If it was me, I'd simply refletch with a new feather.
