Never heard a bad word on any mentioned above.....Very short list of to haves before they throw dirt in my face...
NM-Superior...JD Berry Taipan...(forward handle) ...Great Northern Bushbow....That last one has been on my list for MANY years ;^))  Nice looking bow Matt !

I will add that many overlook a Bear Montana Longbow....I've owned many of the customs made in the last 20-30 yrs.....a Montana will hold its own with about any of them imho. Talking mild R/D ....

I just Love mild R/D longbows....the simplisity , smoothness ,  inherently dead quiet is what a bow is all about for me....mild R/D have all that and more;)

I know my post wasn't likely much help , but it's nice to add a little to conversations from time to time ;)
I've always found that finding a grip that fits you and feels comfy is key in any design...

Best with your quest my friend..... :campfire:

After reading through this thread I need to drop string with my Kota and see how that 71# will push some arrows.

Looking to get a mild r/d bow built what are some of the top bowyers/bows that I should consider?
You will not and cannot go wrong with any of Kirk Lavenders BigFoot bows. I have a Flatliner, and it is a smooth, hit what you look at bow.

TimberHawk from Bloomington Indiana is another company to take a look at. Their basic wood combinations with brown or black glass are very reasonably priced and they shoot as good as the exotic woods with clear glass. Kind of a "working man's" bow.
