Make sure you get the shaft sanded or scraped where the feathers will go,  and they will stay down. I use super glue or fletch tite. Thread doesnt hurt either.

 Sand them like Auggie said or Massey finish them or spray or dip them in Poly first.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
