Default RE: Why Oneida?

JRW.......

Oneidas are extremely tough, you can snap shoot them without coming to full draw, they don't have the long cables of a regular compound (less to tangle your fishing line on), and they are very zippy bows that fling a heavy fish arrow with authority.

The older ones are pretty heavy but the newer ones are light and you can get them with stainless steel hardware.

The bottom limb is a plus and a negative. Sometimes holding at full draw is a plus in bowfishing ('specially when waiting for that split second a gar or bighead is going to 'roll' at the surface). I can brace the bottom limb with my inner thigh and hold at full draw for some time.

The downside is that usually at least once per bowfishing trip I forget about that bottom limb and smack myself in the thigh with it. But it's just a bruise.... I can live with it.
