Oneida Bows & Archery Equipment Classifieds • WTB: Michigan Autumn

2018-06-27T00:44:17+00:00

Looking for a specific Michigan Autumn pattern. I believe I’ve only seen it on the MR-80 Lites. It’s the orange Michigan Autumn, with the detailed veins. Does not have to be an MR-80. As long as it is a short, or can be converted to a short. Willing to pay cash and/or trade multiple levers. The picture is not of my bow, but an example of what I’m looking for.

Oneida Bows Discussion • Oneida Black Eagle Question

2018-06-24T20:55:52+00:00

Why do the black eagles from 2000 and the same model from 2001 - 2003 have different draw lengths. Was gunna buy a medium black eagle from 2001-2003 but found out the minimun draw length is 29.” But the 2000 models have a minimum of 28” for the medium black eagle. What changed between the two models to make this happen? Just curious.

Also im looking to buy one again so wondering if anyone is selling one. My draw is 28.5 and i plan shooting with fingers.

Oneida Bows Discussion • Dip (paint) a Black Eagle?

2018-06-24T11:37:23+00:00

Would it be possible to dip an older black eagle riser and limbs (power and outer)? I know that the outer limbs are made of wood and wasnt sure if dipping them would have an effect of them. The power limbs are carbon correct? They can be dipped if im not mistaken.

Oneida Eagle Bow Pictures • Michigan Autumns

2018-06-22T19:16:18+00:00

I’d like to start a thread to see everyone’s Michigan Autumn bows. Being from Michigan and loving the fall, this has become my favorite pattern. Out of all the bows I’ve seen, this pattern has the most amount of differences from bow to bow, and model to model. So let’s share pictures, trade bows, give advice on color schemes, etc. Once I can figure out how to get my pictures to load off the phone, I’ll add mine. I’m having pixel limitation errors right now.

Oneida Bows Discussion • The Kestrel-Hawk

2018-06-21T22:16:22+00:00

I don't know how many of you have a Kestrel-Hawk, or have even heard of it. It's a kestrel riser with limbs from the Hawk. I had this bow made for me by Oneida (when they were still in Michigan) in the summer of 2012. I don't know what year the company was bought and moved to Missouri, but that was the end of production of this bow combination and apparently not many had been made. Both interesting and unfortunate, the yoke cables for this bow were made for this bow alone, and the swedges were not painted (color coded) as far as I could tell. The power cables were coded green/green, and I purchased a couple sets of those through Oneida when I bought the bow. The string length at 39" is also unique to this bow.

I've replaced the power cables twice over the years, and the string several times (60X Custom Strings), but not the yoke cables (yeah, I know). Six months ago after swapping out my last set of extra power cables, I decided it was time to put on new yoke cables as well. I called Oneida to try to order these, but they had no idea that the Kestrel-Hawk even existed. When the new owners of Oneida moved the company, records of bows built prior to that did not go with them. Fortunately, I was able to reach Matt Pollington and he still had records and some knowledge of this bow. He said the yoke cables were considered to be coded copper/copper, made just for this bow, at a length of 17 3/4". I called Oneida with this information and they said that they didn't have this color combination for yoke cables. Further, they don't make their own cables like the Michigan based company did, instead buying finished cables from somewhere else in bulk to get a discount. Because of this, they aren't going to be stocking this particular cable. Nice.

So, I got in touch with Joe about a month ago and explained the situation. Through some discussion, we determined that the length of these cables given to me by Matt were based on the end-to-end length. Joe informed me that the swedges can differ in length based on how they are crimped, so the distance between the swedges is what the cable length should be based. Figuring the length of the swedges being 1/4" each, the inside length of the cable should be 17 1/4".

I got the new yoke cables within a week of talking with Joe. After installing them and getting the bow back up to the previous poundage, I noted that the brace height and tillers were the same as what I measured before the switch in cables. Perfect!

Thanks Joe for getting me back on track with this bow!

Oneida Bows & Archery Equipment Classifieds • Strike Eagle timing wheels/cable

2018-06-06T21:50:39+00:00

Hi All

Question for Joe:

Can your timing wheels be used on a Strike Eagle? Buddy of mine is looking to finish off a (multi-year!) project bow, but really wants to get aluminum wheels to replace his old plastic ones. He also wants to replace the timing cable while he's about it.

Can you help?
