For rigidity, wooden shafts are graded by slices to offer a wide choice of spine. And as for the heads, they can be directly screwed or glued on the shaft.

How do I mount an arrowhead on a wooden arrow?

The heads can be attached to the shaft using resin or glue. If you wish to remove the heads later, it is preferable to use resin. To do this, remove the notches if you have already placed them. Then, with sandpaper, scrape off the tip of the head and grab it with a pair of notched pliers. Then heat the head that fits into the shaft for at least 10 seconds. Then use a resin stick and brush it all over. Once this is done, push the head inside the shaft and tap lightly on it. Finally, dip the tip of the head in a Tupperware filled with water for 5 seconds and then remove the excess resin.
