They sell arrow spinners at various archery stores. Try cabelas I' m almost positive they have them.

use a cardboard box that is not as wide as your arrow is long. Cut two triangle notches on each side of the box, place your arrow in the notches and spin. Cheap too!!

Cabelas have them for $20-30. But I have heard some guys making their own contraption and they work just as well

or...Point it down onto a hard smooth surface (glass table) Grab the nock and spin it. It will spin like a top for a bit and you can tell if it wobbles

I have a spall 1" x 1" piece of fiberglass and used a drill bit to put a dimple into it. I place the broadhead in it and rest arrow againt my hand and blow on the fletching. It does not take much wind to spin it if it is true.

I spin them on " pad" of my hand below my little finger. You have to be CAREFUL, but you can feel the least amount of wobble.

I took a 20" - 2x2 and hammered 2 nails in an X shape on each end.
I place my arrows in the x' s and draw a dot on something at the same height as the b/h point and then give it a gentle roll, placing pressure on the arrow very near the front x. If it' s not try, you' ll see it.

I could see me trying to spin a b/h tipped arrow like a top. Wouldn' t be pretty....
