| I would say the Savannah is too pricy for an entry level archer. The Martin Stick would be in-line with a beginner. I would also suggest the Martin Jaguar, X-150 or Rebel Hunter if they would be happy shooting a recurve, and maybe they're more interested in shooting traditional in general. Someone who is trying to learn about the sport, I would start with price in mind as they may decide its not for them. |

| Most of the Martin longbows and recurves are great bows. Get a less expensive bow at around 45# so you can concentrate on learning good shooting mechanics before you consider a heavier weight bow which might be better for actual hunting. A 45# bow is sufficient for deer, but your ability to use a heavier arrow/broadhead might ultimately motivate you to hunt with a heavier bow, like around 50# and up. |
