Anyone shoot a Martin Savannah?

Slayer,
I shoot my Savannah right at 7" and it seems to shoot well at that height.  It was a little more noisy than I liked until I put a B-50 string on it.

I shoot mine at 7 3/8", and second the dacron string.

George you are right.  This is no entry level bow.  What I meant was a great value.  Good enough so that you won't need anything better.  Like the 700 remington, 870 wingmaster, shimano symmetre, abu garcia baitcaster.  I started with the savannah and I like it.  But I don't love it.  What kind of grip would you say the savannah has?

The one I shot was at Cabela's and they must have the brace Height set up a wrong, because it was really short, and slapped your arm.

That got them priced at $469.  Maybe that's high for our area.

A scattershot, I bought my first traditional bow off this site from you.  And I was looking at a Savannah back then.  All I had was 50 Pounders.  Otherwise I probably would await with that at that time.

Lt. Dan,  the grip is what I would call low/med locator. A high wrist forces your hand to settle into the grip at the web between your thumb and fore finger and keeps the wrist from bending much.   A high wrist on a recurve would look like this #3 Bear grip:
