I think the Liberty English may be the best D-shaped longbow out there.  It has a mild reflex/deflex in the unbraced profile but strings up in a perfect D.  Really the best of both designs.  Makes for a stable, mostly shock free release.  I havent strung mine up in little while since I have been working with my Whisperstik recurve.

Is Allan Boice still making bows anymore?
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

without a doubt, for me it's a  mohawk longbow  all the way.  

this mild r/d is 'D" braced ifaa legal longbow has all the right features built in at no added 'options' cost.

this is one of the reasons I have a Toelke "D" on order,  we all know that speed aint everything, but everyone ive talkd to that has shot a Toelke "D" really likes it,   and for a "D" they are fast!

I've been going through the same dilemma and decided on a Northern Mist Superior. I talked to several bowyers including Steve at NM, Ron at Fox, Jim Martin at Mahantango, Dan at Montana Bows, and Vince at Mohawk, and they're all awesome to deal with and very helpful. I chose the NM because they seem to produce great speeds for the design, they have the look I'm going for, and from what I've read they're really sweet shooters. I came really close to ordering a Mohawk and a Fox. The only thing that made me go NM over fox was a slightly shorter wait time. You may want to call Ron at Fox, he'll be able to help you out if you're interested in one of the "Crown" bows. He may even have a few in stock  ;)

I shot one (Belcher Union Jack) a couple of years ago at the Ohio Deer and Turkey Expo and liked it very much. As I recall, it shoots very much like my Hill.

You may have to phone or e-mail Ron for information. It doesn't look like his website has been touched since 2007.
Here is a link to contact info:  http://www.foxarchery.com/
He does build a very nice bow.
Good luck with the search.
