Well, today was kind of a special day and my parents took me to cabelas. I looked around and saw some cool stuff, my dad bought a rifle scope, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then my parents asked me if I wanted to try out some of the bows on the rack. I said no very firmly because I knew that no good could come from it. So then I went over to shoot a couple. I started out with a bear Supermag 48 and liked it a lot. Shot a while, shot the crap with the bow guy, had a good time. Then my mom asked if I wanted to try the martin Savannah that they had there. I said no, it was too nice of a bow and no good could come from it. So then when I was shooting the bow, I just couldn't get over how beautiful it was. Zebrawood, bubinga, the works. I had 6 blisters on my fingers, and my middle finger was numb, but I didn't care. It was smooth as butter. So when I was done, my parents asked which I liked. I thought it over and decided the Savannah was what I really liked. Then my mom told the guy she'd like to purchase one. So in the next 8-10 business days, I should be getting a 55# Martin Savannah in the mail. (Cabela's didn't have one in stock that was new.) I'm a little excited!!! :saywhat:
Good stuff! Have heaps of fun!
Very cool, I love mine its a great shooter.
Always wanted to shoot one of those Savannah's! Congrats. They are on my list to own, someday :)
I have to say, it's seemed like a very zippy bow to me. It was flingin them arrows down the range pretty nicely. They weren't the right spine and they were fletched with vanes too. I was WAY impressed...
Savannah's are a great bow.Fast,quiet,and not hard to look at.They will perform with the best of them.
That's Great! Are ya gonna be able to sleep the next week or so waitin' on your "New Bow"?
Best Of Luck With Her!

You should be VERY EXCITED! That's super bow and you sure have some generous parents. Be sure and give your mom an extra big hug! Congrats.
Very cool of you're parents to do that. I think you're going to love that Savannah. I purchased one in 2003 and it remains one of my favorites even though I now have several customs. Congrats.
savannah is a fine r/d longbow. one trad ganger, todd hathaway, used his to win the longbow division of grueling muzzy shoot event last year.
You are a lucky with parents like that - good luck with the bow.
Good stuff Kief! Get Darren (elktalker) to tell his Savannah elk stories.
Right fine parents! Hope you survive the wait, then enjoy.....
good stuff have fun with it.
A dandy bow you'll like it alot!
A bow your parents give you is a treasure. Keep it always and enjoy it.
It's been about 4 hours and I'm already dying...
It was definetly a step up from my Martin X-150. The extra weight is nice. Bought some stuff myself today to make some arra's too. Just a jig and taper tool but I'm slowly getting there. I'm gonna do a gray stain(to match my soon to be Check Mate with graybark limbs) and a red crown dip with red barred feathers (to match the Savannah). I think they'll be a pretty nice little combo with a gray and red string...
The Savannah was the bow we raffed off at our last Trad only shoot. After the raffle several of us spent a few hours braking it in for the winner.
All I can say is "Will your mom and dad be up for
an adoption of a slitly used older kid fairly
well trained."
Give mom and dads a big hug and congrats on the bow...

They are beautes, haven't shot one but sure would like to, haven't heard a single bad comment about them ever. Hope you keep that smile for a long, long time.
It is great to be loved. Have fun shooting and keep it forever
