R/D for me, I find they have better cast and usually have better grips

Mentally—- D bow, had a lot, loved the look but mostly I think I loved the idea/nostalgia

Actually—-R/D my JD Berry Taipain is about 35 ish years old, I have put over 300,000 arrows through it and I'm afraid it will die eventually. But on the R/D bows I like that style.

R/D for me. I have 2 that that my bowyer buddy, Ken Bullman, built for me. They are both built on KennyM's designs.  They shoot great for me....

RD for me, it looks that my elbows don't like a D shaped lb.

I have both mild D/R and more radical D/R longbows.  The mild has a "D" shape and the other has more flatness towards the limb tips.  I like the Kota Badlands mild D/R I picked up from St Jude's a couple years ago, but prefer the radical D/R like the MOAB.  Also, have a Big River 21st Century clone that has mild locator grip.

I haven't shot enough D bows to know for sure but I do love my R/D bows. Especially for hogs, tough with good cast and they generally have my favorite grips.

D style for me, just something about the look and feel of it.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Never have shot a deflex..only experience with long bows are Shrews..and I like em!

All I've ever shot and preferred were "D" longbows, until my Sentman which is a very mild R/D design.  I may now be a convert, we'll see.  I'll have to try a more radical R/D.

Aesthetically, D all day.

I've owned a number of Dan Toelke D/R Whips, standard and classic grips. They are to me considering manners and speed the finest shooting bows I've ever shot. That said I find his Super Ds to be the bow that I like even better, there is something about them that is hard to explain but I really, really like them. I tore a rotator cuff during the initial Covid outbreak and sold the 3 Super Ds, 49 to 54 lbs. that I had settled on. Dan made me a 36 lb. Classic Whip which I've shot for a while and I've come back enough now that I should have another Super D, 66" and 45lbs @29" in a couple of weeks. Did I mention I really like them?

I've shot a lot.  The Abe Penner's will probably be the last to go...

R/D, the grips on most ASL's and I don't get along.
