Whitehair, I bought a Savannah this year. Great bow. Its smooth and pretty fast. I don't care about speed too much, so I haven't chrono'd it. However, I shoot a recurve much better, and about 2 weeks ago I got a new chek mate firebird. This is about the fourth time I've tried to switch to longbow, and probably the last. I feel I owe it to the game I hunt to shoot the most accurate bow that I can. Hope this helps.
