Default need help with Onieda bow

I have an Onieda Aero Force X80 bow but can't find the book with tuning instructions! I looked for their web site with no luck. Does anyone have one they would sell or know where I could get one?
Thanks, John

I think they have the manual for an Aeroforce on line... But if they don't go to the forums section on their webpage and there will be bunches of people there that could help you.. www.oneidaeaglebows.com is their webpage.

There very easy to tune, I shot them for years, but not any more, what do you need to know? DairyKing should really be able to help you also. You have to make sure your brace height and tiller are right on those bows to start with.

Welcome fellow Oneida shooter. I hope you love your Oneida bow. I've always enjoyed shooting mine.

LOL! What am I? The Oneida guy over here?

If you have any specific question, come join the Oneida forum, heck, even if you dont have any questions, come join anyway, Its AWESOME over there.

And, IL Rancher is right, They have a manual on Oneidas home page thats about the AF. It should tell you everything you need to know to tune it.

They really are one of the easiest shooting bows that I have picked up. They fit very nice and they are all day shooters. I know I will always be in the minority when it comes to them but I love my Black Eagle and my Stealth. Real fun bows to shoot..

Hey Rick, Why did you stop shooting them? Just wondering
That long tip to tip of 48" cost me a nice buck that was right under my tree when the limb hit my leg upon release of the arrow. It was then I decided to go to a more conventional type bow after 20 some years of shooting them. At that time Oneida wasn't making the shorter models they make now and I have since gotten used to conventional bows. Don't get me wrong I loved those bows and even think about picking them up and shooting them again but don't think I will ever go back to them, as a matter of fact I think I will soon be buying an Old Glory .

Default RE: need help with Onieda bow

I was wondering what the brace height should be. My bow is a 65-80 lb long draw.
I did go to Onieda's site and found out a lot about quieting also. I tried shooting carbon arrows but my bow was so loud. I shoot 2215's 26 inches long.
I have other bows but I love the Onieda!!!! I have taken many elk, bear and a huge Shiras moose with it. Taking it to Africa in July.
I get funny looks when I go to shoots as no one around here shoots Onieda but when the smoke clears most of the Mathews shooters want to know more about my bow.
Thanks for the replys fellas!!!!!!!
John
