Default Longbows??

Ive just started making bows. Ive made only flat bows with a little reflex. Im now starting some lams and am going to do a R/D (reflex/Deflex) bow. Which do you prefer to shoot, a flat bow, or one with R, D, or R/D.

I like reflex-Delfex. Almost a recurve, but not a recurve.

Everything but my bow arm elbow prefers a straight or string follow longbow.

I like the reflex/deflex, a little more stable and can be a little easier to shoot than a straight limb bow.

I like a mild R/D bow that braces into a "D" shape.My Northern Mist Baraga is such a sweet shooting bow and looks real good,too.I also have a BW PLX that's more of a hybrid.Probably the smoothest shootest longbow I ever shot
