I have a almost new oneida eagle the poundage screws were loosened on the bow and i am sure they arent adjusted the same, could someone tell me how to start from scratch and get both side the same, im not concerned with the draw weight just getting them the same pressure on both sides, I am new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am sure it will tell you correct way to adjust in the owner manual, or can email the company
better safe than sorry

BUT most limbs like you can tighten the bolts all the way in, and then back em out equally counting turns to where ever you wish to be
NOT saying this is teh PROPER way to do so on YOUR bow, or SAFE to do
, just a thought for you to think about!

As you back out the limb bolts check your tiller (distance from equal points on the riser to the string). Make sure they are the same. If not one or the other screw needs to be turned until this is accomplished.

If you have a bow shop near you take it to them and let them do it. It will not cost that much and you will have peace of mind.

I would definitely take OT's advice and visit an archery pro shop. The Oneida Eagle bows are quite different than most of the conventional compound bows on the market today. My advice is to have it adjusted by a professional.

Gather the tools: You'll need an Allen wrench set, which usually comes with most compound bows. If you don't have one, purchase an appropriate size (often 3/16" or 5/32").

Check the current poundage: Before making any adjustments, you should know the current draw weight of your bow. This information is often marked on the limb or listed in the bow's user manual. It's essential to start from a known point.

Reset the poundage screws: Loosen the poundage adjustment screws on both limbs completely. This will set the bow to its lowest possible poundage. Turn the screws counterclockwise until they are fully loosened.

Determine the number of turns: Ideally, you should aim for an equal number of turns on both poundage screws. However, it's not always possible, as bows may have some factory variations. So, try to count the number of turns on each screw as you loosen them. If you can't determine the exact number, that's okay; you can still proceed with the following steps.

Balance the poundage screws: Slowly tighten each poundage screw one turn at a time, alternating between both limbs. For example, start by tightening one turn on the top limb, then switch to the bottom limb, and so on.

Use a bow scale (optional): If you have access to a bow scale, you can use it to check the draw weight on each limb as you tighten the poundage screws. The goal is to achieve an equal draw weight on both limbs. However, since you mentioned that you're not too concerned about the draw weight, you can use a more straightforward approach.

Apply equal pressure: Instead of using a bow scale, you can gauge the draw weight by feel. As you tighten the poundage screws, use your hands to pull the bowstring back. Apply equal pressure on both sides to ensure they feel the same. Adjust the screws accordingly until you achieve a balanced feel.

Check limb alignment: As you adjust the poundage screws, also ensure that the limbs are parallel to each other. Check from both the front and back views to confirm they are aligned.

Test the draw cycle: After making adjustments, draw the bow multiple times to ensure the draw cycle feels smooth and consistent. If it feels even and balanced, you have successfully adjusted the poundage screws.

Final adjustments: Fine-tune the poundage screws if necessary to achieve the desired draw weight. Remember to make equal adjustments on both sides.
