Savannah Arrow Selection

[burch]

O.K. all you Savannah owners.   :D     I`m waiting on a 45# @ 28" Savannah which will arrive shortly.    
I need some arrow selections. So what is everyone shooting with this AMO ?

[rraming]

Mine is 55lb, I pull 53 and shoot 55-60 spine with 125 tips, I can shoot stiffer just makes them longer. I only shoot wood.

[burch]

I`ve shot Carbons & aluminum, never got the chance to shoot wood. I should research into it. I admire the traditionalist.  

[Ted Fry]

50-55 # spine tapered wood arrow with a 125 grain point , up it to 160 grain on the point end then up it 5# on the spine

[SS Snuffer]

This works for me

[Longbow Bowhunter]

With my Savanna I shoot a 65-70 spine wood arrow with 125 grain tip.

[Clint B.]

A 1916 or a 2016 would be the two choices in aluminum, depending on your arrow length and point weight.

[Reaper TN]

In my experience, a 45 pound longbow drawn to 28 inches will require a .600 spine carbon arrow.   You will have to bareshaft tune, but start with a full length arrow first, usually 30 inches in this spine.  I like the CE Predator II 2040, and the GT 1535 Trad blems.

I have a 45# Savanah.

I use a 58.25" 12 strand 8125 EL string with 2 split rubber whiskers. ( 1 whisker split in two per string)

Braced at 7.5"

I when I drew 25.5" from grip to string (27.25"AMO)
I was getting great flight from 57# 27 5/8" BOP tapered spruce arrow with 190grn tips.

Now I shoot 28" from back of grip to string (29.75" AMO) I'm using 68# tapered spruce that are 30" BOP with 190 grn tips.

Again very good flight.

How is the Savannah shelf cut? Past, to, or before and how much?

[burch]

Not sure how the shelf is cut. Maybe someone will chime in with that answer.

Great bows and very quick, hard shooters! I agree with the .600 spine carbon and leave long and cut back. I would say 30"s with at least 190 grains up front but experiment a bit with point weight. Shawn

My Savannah is 1.5625" (1 & 9/16") wide at the grip, and the shelf is .75" (3/4") wide.

Which means that the thickness of the bow at the sight window is .8125 inches.

Does that sound right?

Does this help?

So does that mean it`s center cut or what ? i`m not sure

[LV2HUNT]

I believe it is cut before. Do you know what your draw length is?

[USAFdad]

Same as rraming here 55-60# with cedar drawing 55@28. Arrows are 29 3/4" long. Same arrow flys just fine out of my sons 50# Savannah. Beman MFX 400 also work good in both.

28-3/8"
I won`t know the actual peak weight at my draw length until it gets here which should be tommorrow.   :D

[Yeoman Bowman]

I think it means the shelf is cut slightly less than center. About 1/16" less than center.

[JamesKerr]

500 spine in  carbons with heavy point weight or a 2016 alluminum arrow.
