Bout the bows, I just bought the Oneida Osprey for my grand son. This was his second time using it. I have shot Oneida bows for almost 30 years. As you can guess I like them. They look like a lot of problems but are very dependable. I have drug mine all over the states, horse back in the montana mountains, New mexico mountains and have no problems. They are fast and smooth. One of the few if not only compound thatyou can snap shoot for fish.
