Northern Mist Baraga. Mild R/D, locator grip, 62". Quiet, no hand shock, plenty fast. I have one and I have a Bear Montana. No question about which is the better bow. Baraga hands down.

I really like my Toelke. It is 66 and is very smooth and has very little handshock. I think it is pretty too. It looks like a big ole corn stalk.

Have a J.D. Berry Rennassaince 62" 58# coming for my son, looks great and from what I have done in my research they are a great bow.

Take a look at the Longbows that Mike at Maddog Traditional Archery has. I have one of his BBO longbows and love it. From the quality of it, I can only imagine his laminate longbows will be excellent bows.

Douglas Fir arrows with "cat whiskers" and B-50 strings. It shoots superbly and Dan's delivery time is weeks and I am sure he can provide you a "loaner" if desired. Contact him at www.montanabows.com

I just cruised around on the site and like the D-Bow a lot. Might have to give them a call.

I think if I'm going to get a D style I should try a bunch.

Thanks,

Josh

I looked at a Baraga II this summer in Hastings...he almost had me. I have the money for one at the end of January so Kzoo may be fun.

I'm going to cruise over the HH site, I've been there in the past and liked what I saw...then I think I'm going to jump to the Dwyer site again.

Might even hit a few more mentioned in these posts and then hit the bed...I'm getting tired.

I liked my RER. Had a D shape and was a smooth shooter. Not a super fast bow but the quietness and forgiveness made up for speed.

I Love my Mahantango. It is a great shooter, handles quite a range of arrow choices. Jim can make them with a locator grip as well as the straight grip.

for the money hard to beat Howard Hill by craig. NOrthern Mist is a great bow, Mr. Miller's makes another great bow. So doe the new sponsor on here I am told.

HATCHCHASER · « **Reply #32 on:** January 09, 2009, 10:06:00 AM »

If you want a D bow without the handshock it's hard to beat a Mohawk. The price is right too. Fast, quiet and Vince is one of the best.

Don't mean to throw a monkey wrench in your thoughts but Bob with Kohannah bows is gonna have a new 3 peice at that show in a couple of weeks. Not a D bow but it is sweet. Be sure and check that one out.

Northern mist are great bows

Sharptop · « **Reply #34 on:** January 09, 2009, 10:34:00 AM »

I have a 66 inch Apex Predator I bought second hand that is a great D style bow. I notice no hand shock. Marty is on this board under that handle and can make you one at a good price.

i own a dwyer original longbow 64" and it shoots great...very slight ref/def when unstrung and D-shaped when strung...GREAT locator grip. I think their base price is $465 for a brand new bow.

i have also owned/shot 7-lakes and deathwish longbows. they also have great locator grips, very slight r/d unstrung and D profiles when strung.

Be sure to take a look at Great Northern's Bushbow.

Right here in MD, we have a great bowyer, Tom Parsons of Kim Sha Archery. He make a Howard Hill style "D" bow. I have a Mattawoman II deflex-reflex longbow. It is a great shooter, 45@28" and 62" long. He also makes a traditional reflex longbow called the Mattawoman. Very fine bows and he really is a good guy to work with. He'll set you up right.
