POLL. D or R/D?

[PrimitivePete]

R/D for me, I find they have better cast and usually have better grips

[Brianlocal3]

Mentally—- D bow, had a lot, loved the look but mostly I think I loved the idea/nostalgia

Actually—-R/D my JD Berry Taipain is about 35 ish years old, I have put over 300,000 arrows through it and I’m afraid it will die eventually. But on the R/D bows I like that style. 

[Zeebob]

R/D for me. I have 2 that that my bowyer buddy, Ken Bullman, built for me. They are both built on KennyM’s designs.  They shoot great for me….

[cacciatore]

RD for me, it looks that my elbows don’t like a D shaped lb.

R/D for me ,

[Bowsey Wails]

R/D for me.

[Wudstix]

I have both mild D/R and more radical D/R longbows.  The mild has a "D" shape and the other has more flatness towards the limb tips.  I like the Kota Badlands mild D/R I picked up from St Jude's a couple years ago, but prefer the radical D/R like the MOAB.  Also, have a Big River 21st Century clone that has mild locator grip.

ASL.

I haven’t shot enough D bows to know for sure but I do love my R/D bows. Especially for hogs, tough with good cast and they generally have my favorite grips.

[rastaman]

R/D for me.

[STICKBENDER98]

D style for me, just something about the look and feel of it.

Never have shot a deflex..only experience with long bows are Shrews..and I like em!

[pdk25]

R/D for me.

[Even]

All I've ever shot and preferred were "D" longbows, until my Sentman which is a very mild R/D design.  I may now be a convert, we'll see.  I'll have to try a more radical R/D.

Aesthetically, D all day.

I've owned a number of Dan Toelke D/R Whips, standard and classic grips. They are to me considering manners and speed the finest shooting bows I've ever shot. That said I find his Super Ds to be the bow that I like even better, there is something about them that is hard to explain but I really, really like them. I tore a rotator cuff during the initial Covid outbreak and sold the 3 Super Ds, 49 to 54 lbs. that I had settled on. Dan made me a 36 lb. Classic Whip which I've shot for a while and I've come back enough now that I should have another Super D, 66" and 45lbs @29" in a couple of weeks. Did I mention I really like them?

[tom cunningham]

I've shot a lot.  The Abe Penner's will probably be the last to go...

[katman]

R/D, the grips on most ASL's and I don't get along.
