I like Robertsons, GN Critter Gitters and Liberty Chiefs (the latter just a tad more than mild r/d).

Ron Kings Royal Crown. Shoots where you point it, and absolutely  no hand shock. One of the finest bows i have ever held in my hands.
Never measure the mountain until you have reached the top, then you will see how low it is.

Some of the bows mentioned in earlier posts I'd put in the moderate rather than mild R/D category.  For mild R/D bows I'd rate Abbott and Green Mountain (the latter no longer made) as two excellent mild R/D designs.  

Hill-style and mild R/D longbows have become my favorites over the years and are hard to beat for their classic looks and quietness.

My favorite mild d/r longbow is the one a friend of mine made for me. It shoots good and has the looks to go along with it. My Tomahawk Legacy series would be number one for a mild d/r but it does have a little flat spot near the tips.

I should amend my first response...

Yes, I love my Dwyer Original, but I'm also falling for my Great Northern Bushbow.

Oh, and I GOTTA get me a Liberty Contender.

I would have to vote Great Northern bushbow but now I'm not to sure. Just came in from testing my newly acquired Green Mountain and now I might be sitting on the fence.
Both are sweet shooters for sure.
