Does anyone still deer hunt with one? Does anyone hunt with one of the new ones? What are your thoughts? I’ve always been fascinated by them. I’ve never shot one but I think they look so cool.

I've killed a ton of fish and a couple beavers with Oneidas. I've owned an Aeroforce X80, a Discovery II, and currently an Osprey all set up for bowfishing. It's crossed my mind a time or two to try and kill a deer with one but I've never actually attempted it. I know there are quite a few people who hunt and have killed all kinds of critters with them though.

The one I have listed for sale was setup for deer hunting, but I bought it and turned it into a bowfishing bow. It has a whisker biscuit arrow rest on it and I could throw a sight on it for you if you’d like to buy it. It’s a really sharp bow if you’d like some pictures of it I’ll send them to you. It has a lime green string on it right now, but I have a dark colored string for it as well that I would throw on it. Great shooting bow and very smooth. It’s all black with a stained grip on it. I have it listed for $450, but would drop the price a good bit if you’re interested. I just threw that price out there to see what I would get offered. Pm me for some pictures.

Tim Wells (probably the best televised bow hunter on the planet) ditched Mathews because they pissed him off and picked up Oneida as his main sponsor the same day, if i remember correctly. He is pretty deadly with that Oneida.

My first compound, about 25 yrs ago was an Oneida Screaming Eagle. Super smooth and fast bow. Used for my first bow kill. It was also pretty loud compared to most of the others I've had.

Use to own a screaming eagle. Good bow for the time. Doesn’t compare to modern compound bows,

He shoots instinctive so the Oneida is a good fit for him

I used to shoot for Oneida Labs back in the middle 80's. The Aeroforce was my weapon of choice. The recurve limbs were a good fit for me as I shot with my fingers anyway. Speed wise-It was top of the line and would shoot with anything on the market. Maintenance wise-It was a nightmare! I adjusted something on it everyday. I enjoyed tinkering with it at the time, but I would not mess with it today. Loud as can be, but the speed factor would offset it. I never killed a deer with it that did not bend the shaft on the pass through. I think the loud whack when the limbs hit the riser caused the deer to be in a dropping move to get away thus causing the bent arrow. I shot everyday, and only missed one deer the entire time with Oneida. In their defense, I had back surgery and should not have been in the woods when I missed him. When I killed 100 deer with an Oneida bow, I quit bow hunting. I have only killed two deer with a bow since then. I had reached my goal so I quit.

I still enjoy shooting a bow. I shoot what I think is the best bow ever made-A Mathews Switchback XT. If anyone needs a few strings and timing cables for an Oneida bow, I have a few I will give away.

Use to hunt with the AreoForce and killed a ton of deer with it. Still have it.

Very interesting stuff Teacher One

Not that he needs me to back him up, but I'm backing him up! I shot many'a 3-D round with Bradley back in the day. He was as good as i've ever seen for a man shooting a bow with his fingers. If he had his yardage correct (which was 95% of the time) , he was in the 10 ring. Man i miss those days @ Crossroads Archery Club and Dixie Archers! Wish i could go shoot both those courses this Saturday. Robinhedd
