What's new at C.P. Oneida Eagle Bows? Well let's get started. One of the most exciting things to take place is Claude Pollington has welcomed back Mr. John Islas. John was the designer/developer of the Oneida Eagle Bow. John is working closely with Mr. Gary "Ben" Benedict, in research and development. They are making great strides in product development, and refinements to our current Black Eagle bow. The Pro Eagle is also coming along very nicely, and production dates are approaching. Future models are being discussed; mid-range priced bows as well.
The manufacturing plant in Fulton, New York has undergone a complete facelift, with re-fitting of the machines, and complete re-tooling of our other manufacturing machines. Quality control has been beefed up, parts orders are being filled on a daily basis, and inventory is being maintained. Bows are being shipped out on a daily basis, and orders for additional bows are coming in daily. Our Staff Shooters, are attending shoots and Bowfishing Tournaments, and cleaning up in the winner's circle and answering questions about our product line.

New programs have been established. For example, C.P. Oneida is now working with the National Bowhunter Education Foundation instructors. Please visit their website at NBEF.org. Marketing and advertising strategies are already in place, check out some of the major publications for our ads. major shows are being booked now for booth space for our product exposure.

The company logo has also been re-designed; clothing and specialty items are on the horizon. Our accessory catalog is also making great progress; bow cases are undergoing the final refinements, like embroidery and silk screening issues. C.P. Oneida will strive to continue, to offer our customers and dealers, superior products and services.

Sincerely,

Claude Pollington

Hi Lyle,

interesting post here! Are John and Gary still at R&D? Whatever happened to them?

Thanks,

Luis

Hi Luis, Gary and John no longer work with CPO. CPOneida Eagle Bows is no longer located in Fulton New York and is now located in Marion Michigan. Not sure about them but from what we heard many of the employees had the opportunity to move with the company and chose not to.

Luis, and other viewers,

We are posting, as time allows, a variety of information which is available that may be of interest to those interested in C.P. Oneida Bows.

If anyone has information that they feel would help complete the Oneida History, please contact Joe and he can post in the appropriate area after it is verified.

Thanks,
Lyle
