I am thinking ofbuying a Martin Serengeti recurve.
Has anyone had experience with this bow? I know Martin does not make it any longer.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

I have one, marked 55#@28", but I think it's heavier than that. Nice bow, pretty to look at. It was my one and only recurve, I went back to shooting my longbows, and liked it. I guess that's just what I prefer. By the way, it's a screamer.

I have a 2007 Serengeti, 50#@28. I love it.
If I could afford another one I'd buy it before they aren't available anymore.
Cabelas still had them a week or so ago.
I recommend it John. Very smooth and fast!
I put a rubber shur-grip on mine, the grip can be very slippery with sweaty hands.
Get one and enjoy!
John

Thank you for your answers.I appreciate the advice about the grip.

John,
If you get the Serengeti, be a little careful when you string it with a bow stringer, as you pull up on the bow, it has a bad habit of wanting to "flip" over in your hand, the shur-grip really helps in keeping a good grip on the bow.

I arrowed this 4 1/2 yr old doe with a 55# Serengeti a couple years back. A fast bow for sure. The only thing I didn't like is that the limbs felt a little flimsy at the tips, like they would twist easily if not strung right. I used a stringer with mine and never had any problems, it did feel like it was a pain to string, but that's the only thing I can think of. Brace height was best at 7 7/8 if I remember correctly.
