I used Kevin's red balau shafts last year and will start staining some of his maple shafts this week. Great guy and a great product!

I got a dozen of his leopardwood shafts, and mighty pleased with the looks and performance.

...and yes, he is a great guy!

I just got a set of leapordwood shafts from Forrester on saturday, well i stopped by my buddies house who ordered them and he was out shooting and they would shoot right off his bow, so i strung mine up and took a few shots and oh boy they shot awsome. They are 5/16 shafts with 11/32 tip. From what my buddy was saying Kevin is a great guy to deal with and look forward to dealing with him when i need to order more.

Cant wait now, should receive my shafts in about 3-4 weeks (shipping to South Africa). Will be my first woody experience and already allocated my old drill as a cresting tool. Hoping to hunt with these in late August.   :archer2:

I bought a dozen Red Balua arrows from Kevin about three months ago. They shoot great out of my Leon Stewart R/D longbow. Will be ordering from Kevin again!!

Has a great selection of shafts. I'd like to make a log to shoot with my 70lber. Shots are never more than 20 yards so not concerned with drop.

The red balau and leapard wood are incredible.  The shafts I made with the red balau and 160gr points came out at 760grns and hit very hard.  Can't wait to see how they perform this fall.
