A couple of questions :

1) are they fletched already? If not, don't bother weighing until so.
2) is that finished weight? If so, unscrew the points and separately weigh those too.

I've had really good luck separating shafts and points, then weighing each independently and putting them in order from lightest to heaviest; same with the points. Pen and paper help here. Take the heaviest shafts, match it with the lightest point and vice-versa. Keep going until all shafts have a corresponding point. I can usually get the finished shafts to weigh with no more than 1-2 grains difference with the variance that you have listed.

Give it a try; it may work for you.
