Does anyone here use these? I've always wanted one because of how unique they are, but I've found it's pretty hard to find any information on them. I've heard they were fast, and easy to adjust, but again, on their site they don't list IBO or AMO speeds.

i hunted with a tomcat for years great bow.only down fall is it was a long bow not good for a tree stand.just to bulky for me.so i switched to a hoyt 5 years ago.i shot alot of deer with the oneida.fast and quiet.i jsut sold it actually and now i regret it.it was fun just shooting it around the house.
overall if you can get you for a good price grab it.if you dont mind a longer bow you should love it.i think uncle ted (nugent) uses one or at least he did at 1 time.

Yeah... I shot one for my third year of bowhunting and loved it!!! my dad had a mathews Lx at the time and with the Oneida at the same poundage would shoot Easton xx78 super slams in 2315 about the same speed... with ALOT of knock down power! But the only down side was the axle to axle but you get used to it... very easy bow to tune!

I used to hunt with an Oneida Strike Eagle. It was set at 70lbs and shot great. They shoot more like a revurve and sound like one too. Just watch buying one pay close attention to the upper limbs bending left or right it is a problem that can be very expensive to repair. They are nice bows and I wouldn't have sold mine but I didnt use it anymore I hunt with my recurve now.

I also hunted with a tomcat bow back in the mid 90's. i loved that bow it had a very smooth draw cycle on it and was super fast. Good bows but you got to watch the limbs on them, there nut crackers
