Default Oneida Bows

Ay one have any experience with the Oneida bows - I am looking this weekend at an Eagle that is 5 years old for 200$ and the guys says it is in great shape - sights, rests, stabilizer and quiver.

Fast bow - 320 ft/sec - very noisy and heavy. Other feedback from bow dudes are that these bows are hard to keep tuned due to all the pullys and cables. Also - cannot find anyone local to work on.

I had one back in the early 90's. I found that they were pretty easy to keep in tune and to work on but you have to put in the time to learn a new system. I think that's why they got a bad rep. and few people actually wanted to work on them. If you've got a little mechanical aptitude and the owners manual you should be able to keep it maintained with little trouble. For the speed they generate, I doubt you'll find a smoother draw cycle. I'd be leary of hunting out of a blind with one due to the limb travel and space limitations. I finally got rid of mine when I started hunting in the mountains instead of from stands (it was heavy) and because I could never get it as quiet as I wanted.

I just bought an Eagle for $160 brand new. Well, not a brand new one but one that I found in a store that has been on the shelf a while. I am still learning about this bow but like it a lot.
