Oh well, why not.

I like an R/D bow that has a more classic "D" shape when strung. The 2 that always shoot the best FOR ME are:

Harrison HSS
Northern Mist Baraga.
The scent of Autumn is like food to the hunters soul.

95% of all the bows above are not available in the Netherlands so I guess I have to vote for my own made R/D bow(s)as I have no comparison.  ;)  
You guys are lucky to have that many bows to select from.
