Yeah, it has ever so slight reflex deflex.

Least, mine does.

Great Northern Fieldbow. Shoots just like my Bushbow but was less expensive.

Holm-Made Osprey, Chad builds a nice bow. I had a Dwyer Dauntless that was nice also!

By the DiStefano definition the mild R/D bow braces to "D".  That being said, I would put the Mohawk Sparrowhawk on the list of candidates.  Far more great bowyers in this thread than I have dead presidents unfortunately.

St. Joe River longbow.

It has the D profile when strung, with a reverse riser... very quiet, stable, accurate and pretty dang quick, with no hand shock.

Robertson Stykbow.  GN Critter Gitter is pretty nice, too.
