The only D bows I've shot are Howard Hill bows. My latest is an example of getting one that works with you. The narrow grip for me has reduced the hand/grip area, and I feel that it has reduced the felt handshock. To be honest I never really noticed much handshock in my Hills but it is really absent with this one. Not sure if the length having a contribution to the smoothness, but I do appreciate the bow being 60" long. For my height 5'5" it works real well with me.

My Personal Favorite is MOHAWK. [How's that Rob]

Seems like people must think "How good could it be it's only 475.00".

Vince @ Mohawk is a really nice guy. I really wish him the best.
Has anyone shot the Dwyer Origanal?? I have the r/d Dauntless and his workmanship is great.
Was also thinking of the HH with a straight grip.. How hard is it to learn to shoot it??

One of the lesser known is also one of my favorites. A Yellowstone longbow by Rich Wormington. Excellent workmanship and finish. Great guy to deal with. I have 2 of them.

I heard a fellow by the name of Frank San Marco made/makes a nice D Bow.

Dan Toelke, I had one of his d-style bows. It was pretty light but pretty quick. I wish it would of been a heavier draw weight.

my super whizbang 'd' braced longbow is better and faster and purtier lookin' than anyone else's longbow. :D

I've had a Yellowstone longbow.. and his Halfbreed t/d. he does make a really nice bow. But kinda pricey I think??

I think a particuler persons shooting "style" has a lot to do with which longbow he likes the best.I draw and shoot kinda in the Shulze Style I picked up from his book and video.I had shot simuler to that in the past. For me this method works well but I tend to do better with longbows with length to`m.I shoot recurves decent but for some unknown reason and without thinking I shoot slower d style longbows better and have made my best hunting shots with these bows.I`ve never shot a Mohawk but am really thinking about trying one but I gotta say I love the Hill bows with a heavy arrow. BUT the best I`ve shot to date was an Apex Cumberland built by Marty.RC

Wallace Mountain made by Dave Wallace in Marietta , OH makes an outstanding longbow. He's won several IBO World titles with one.

Hey Tommy, how have you been? I picked up a NM Baraga that I am really liking a lot. Sweet shooter and quiet. D-shape when strung. Dunno about best, but I think Northern Mist would crack the top 5 in a survey here.. Several models to suit your fancy!

I went ahead and ordered a Yellowstone longbow. With bacote/coco riser, bacote veneers, bambo cores and antler tipps.. Now for the 4 month wait???
