My new bow!
 

Yeah baby! The new bow has arrived.

It sports the latest paint job available for the Osprey.Stainless steelhardware. Almost too pretty. I predict it will have a few hundred 'harvests' to it's credit by the end of April. (it will probably a bit less pretty by then too)

A big thanks to my boyfriend K12for buying it for me (I'm buying him a 101st Airborne in retaliation) ;)

Another big thanks goesto Fred at F & D Archery for getting the bow quickly. (I don't know ifOneida can't keep up with demand or what, but they're notorious forbeingback-ordered)

I can't wait to shoot it.

AWESOME. I've wanted an Oneida forever to bowfish with! Have Fun!

RE: My new bow!
 

Nice bow!! but is it really normal for people to skin out their pet cats/dogs?[8D]

Looking sweet though, Im wanting a new bow for bowfishing, but likely will just keep what I have. I am seriously contemplating painting my riser and limbs blue like that though....wonder how blue spray paint from walmart would look?:eek:[&:]

RE: My new bow!
 

Can you pull it back.[8D]

RE: My new bow!
 

I take it that it is for Bow fishing only?

RE: My new bow!

RE: My new bow!

RE: My new bow!

RE: My new bow!

RE: My new bow!
 

Beautiful bow! I owned 3 Oneidas at one time or another, always thought about trying a Black Eagle.

You know, I just keep getting all these Christines mixed up. HNI Christine, Christine B... I think I'm talking about one and I'm responding to the other. God I hate getting old.[8D]

RE: My new bow!
 

thats pristine Christine, i love it ;)

RE: My new bow!
 

Getting your girlfriends mixed up again David? ;)


Tried shooting the bow today with flu-flus. (supposed to pheasant hunt with it in a couple weeks.... on camera [:o][:o]) Can't get feather clearance with the epoxy rest. It's a dedicated fish arrow rest. Hmmm... got to figure out some way around that. [:-]

Anyhow, check out how much smaller it is than my old bowfishing rig. It's waaaaay lighter too.

RE: My new bow!
 

Are those as good as the more common compounds that are selling these days?

That is a nice looking bow btw!

RE: My new bow!
 

I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a bow. As far as bowfishing goes, most serious bowfishers consider the Oneida Ospreyto be the 'best'. It's light, hasa good range of draw weight, fires a heavy arrow hard and can be easily snap shot. It's also very tough.

Hoyt makes a bowfishing bow, Browning makes a bowfishing bow, Mathews makes a bowfishing bow, Pearson makes a bowfishing bow, PSE makes a bowfishing bow, etc.. Strangely, Bowtech doesn't make one.
Maybe they don't think they can make a better bow than Oneida does.

Now, for hunting.. I hear the Oneida Black Eagles are pretty nice but I'll stick with my BT equalizer. :D

RE: My new bow!
 

Nice. Now get out there and shoot it. lol

RE: My new bow!
 

Cool.
