RE: Martin Savannah Longbow
I have a savannah that I pull 52# at 29" draw. I love the looks, love the handle. I did have trouble at first and still kinda do. The top string notch wears out strings quickly. Like in 1000 shots. So I got a fast flight string, and its holding up. I sent it back to martin, and smoothed a few things, but still wears with a dacron string.
I shoot a 530gr 30" Port Cedar with 125gr tip at 180fps.I also shoot a 29" Easton Classic 2016 aluminum with 125gr points. The cedars are very quiet. But the Alums fly better.
Overall a fine bow, now doubt for a 300-400 dollar range. Nicer ones out there but I wanted something I can sell if I needed too. I sure wouldn't pay over 350 for one. Goto Tradgang.com or stickbow.com. There is tons of them for sale on those sites. No need to pay 500 for one.
