Oneida. is that the crazy looking bow that kinda looks like a recurve ?
I'm surprised that company hasn't been sued out of existence.

I once owned a Screaming Eagle, Strike Eagle, and a Lite Force Magnum. To this day they were the smoothest drawing bows I ever owned.

How would they have been sued? They were pretty much the first to ever try anything like this.

Because they work the way Bowtech wished their bows did!!!!

I have a Black Eagle and a Tomcat. Love them both.

Thanks for the replies.....and the location of the "search" function.

I knew this post would get some negative comments but that's OK. We all have our opinions on bows. There really isn't a "Bad" bow out there any more.

If you haven't shot an Oneida since Claude Pollington bought it..they are NOTHING like they were in the 80's.

Thanks again everyone.

Ihad a Tomcat from about 1994 to 2000. It wasn't a bad bow at all. Smooth drawand changing the string was a snap. Once it was drawn, rest the lower limb on your leg and you could hold it for days. My biggest problem with it was limiting how far I turned after drawing back. Since I normally shoot while sitting, this resulted in LEG slap to go along with the slap of the limbs at the hinge and of course a complete miss.
