I currently have an Osprey set up for my son, a BEII I built last year, a Stealth converted to a BE - recently dipped in Next Generation camo and a Pro Eagle. Once you understand the operation of these bows, the fear is gone.

Like anything, they aren't for everyone, but I have been shooting Oneida's since 1990. The new ones are great, simple to work on, but they will be loud if they are not tuned properly.

I love archery, traditional and my Oneidas. Being able to perform set ups, string changes, etc. without a press is a huge positive for me.

Cost? Worth the price in my opinion. It's a family owned business, more of a custom shop today than a major manufacturer. Other bows are great, but just don't feel right to me.
