NICEST mild R/D longbow you have shot???
« on: March 12, 2010, 06:14:00 PM »
My vote goes to Dwyer original but am waiting on a Northern Mist Baraga. Any others?I have heard Fox is nice? After MANY bows I prefer as much R/D you can get in a bow but maintain the D shape. Thanks for your thoughts and input.   BILL

Lonetree.... the best mild r/d narrow limb longbow there was.  Sadly the bowyer is no longer with us.

If I could have any of them, it would be a Robertson or a Northern Mist Superior(a longer Baraga).

my vote goes to the Fox, they are very smooth drawing and dead in the hand (as most good R/D bows are).

In the mild deflex/reflex category I'll vote for the Robertson and Great Northern Critter Gitter.  Both of these have been around for 25 plus years for a reason.
