Not sure if my posts on other threads inspired your post, but I currently have one of Coltin's "Prana" static recurves and am thoroughly impressed.  Coltin is a pleasure to deal with and he built and had me mine in only a couple weeks.  Sadly I have it listed for sale simply because I'm bow rich once again and a couple others I have been trying to move haven't been getting any love.  I secretly hope the Hurst doesn't sell because I love how it shoots, but when you have too many good ones...well you know how it is I'm sure.  Coltin was mentored by the Robertsons and Kota bows as well, so he knows what goes into a good bow.  The build quality on my bow is top notch, and I have owned enough bows to be able to comment on that.  The Prana is fast and quiet.  Coltin's bows, with their encapsulated riser design, bear a strong resemblance to Jim Neaves' Centaurs, but there are enough differences, like limb width, unique grip shape, shaping on the riser and tips, that using the word 'copy' would be a big mistake.  The young man has his own style and execution, and I love how he puts his woodburned logo, the "brand" on the riser.  They are priced competitively also and I think before too long Coltin will have a number of orders.  The Prana recurve is definitely a neato bow.  I would also like to try one of the longbows eventually.

Thanks for your reply nineworlds9. Has anyone tried the Perception longbow? These bows are very unique looking and have really got my attention.

Yeah Chuck, the post of your bow for sale on stickbow also caught my eye. I went on the Hurst Bows website after seeing it to check them out. They are some cool looking bows. I would love to get a chance to shoot one. I can see the influence of several different bowyers in his designs.

I am late on the reply here, but I have had a recent dealing with Coltin.

He is a great dude and asked more questions about my build than any other bowyer I have dealt with in the past. I can see a good friendship beginning between him and I.

With this said, I have a custom Prana coming from him in a month or so.

In the meantime, He sent me a really unique Amiable longbow to play with as I am longbow-less at the moment. All I can say is wow. I am very impressed on the cast, shootability and craftsmanship of this bow!

It is a VERY nice wood. And I hate red, but man this this is striking!

Heck of a shooter too.
I am drawing 46.5# shooting a 580g arrow at 155fps. That’s pretty impressive!

Going stumping with it this morning.  :archer2:

Jason and I went stumping this morning and let me tell you, that bow is not only beautiful but super quiet and can really zip an arrow!
Prayer changes things.
