I clean, spin, and shoot them. If they fly well, I replace the blade and put them back into action.
I'm currently using graphite shafts and muzzy heads, so if the shaft doesn't break and the muzzy doesn't bend (which they often do for me) they are ususally good.
I did have one aluminum arrow that killed 8 deer. It finally met its match when my release broke shooting the arrow indoors. It stuck in the wall and was never the same.
