Never know what to expect from your KZfaq channel which always keeps me coming back ! You are becoming the gold standard

I admire how much you seem to appreciate archery and the archers as opposed to just selling flagship bows. Really enjoying the channel, keep cool videos like this coming.

“ Cat scratch fever” is my favorite country song! Haha

I remember the first Oneida Eagles when they were made in Syracuse NY, an hour from my house. What killed the company was the Strike Eagle, the limbs kept going out of alignment. When they first came out, the owners came to a huge Archery Shoot we had and the local Archery Shop help put on. The owner of the shop was shooting a new Strike Eagle (one of the first) and to correct the bottom inboard limb, the owner smacked it back in place with a rubber mallet. Well everyone saw this and laughed them out of the building. They (the owners) were so embarrassed that they packed up and left. You see it was bad enough that everyone saw them smacking the bow with the big rubber mallet, but the bow went out of alignment again after a round of shooting and it had to be done again. That was a drawback of the bow, which was great other than that, but killed the then company.

Love it, my old man and Uncle use to shoot both the Oneida bows and another old bow from Martin called the Dyna bow. Love seeing the old bows in action.

I got my first deer with an Oneida Screaming Eagle. Loved it

I had the onieda screaming eagle back in the 80,s,it was a great bow,really smooth shooting

I remember back 1986 my friend had a custom oneida eagle built...awesome bow

I just absolutely love those classic bows. Just the pure nostalgia from these bows of the past, as you’ve mentioned, outlives the Archers themselves, and in some ways tells a story of the person that once used them, On top of that, if the bow still shoots the way it use to, then even better yet because it’s a working PEICE of history........kinda like “ living legends “ .......I have two dear friends that use to shoot, as PSE’s pro-staff back in the 80’s, as well as best friends of the founder of PSE, Pete Shepley.......I was fortunate enough to inherit their Mach 5’s that they use to shoot while on their pro competition tours around the world, particularly the one competition they once participated in Australia. I will cherish these bows, as part of my history in the sport of archery.......thanks for sharing Steven......great stuff buddy 🏹🏹🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇵🇭Bless you👍

just procured myself a rebuilt, fully enhanced and updated Oneida Extreme, left handed, from the States and having it shipped here to Aus. I think it's probably the only of its kind here! But thats not why I got it - had a Strike Eagle not too long ago and loved it to bits but it was just a bit too dated and dodgy, being 30+ full years old. Seeing these things shoot, hearing your review, I'm so happy to have paid a premium for a possibly one of a kind brother of this bow :D

Wow. Very cool. The bow is stunning. Very unfortunate to hear about the young man that owned this bow before you, but you're absolutely right. The bow lives on with the archer, and it's a wonderful thing. If you choose to sell it, I can only hope the next archer treats it with the same respect.

I love watching you when you're all excited. 👍

it's the first time I've ever seen you so happy I've bin doing archery for three years and watching your channel and I've learned a lot and still learning it's nice to see you get back a peace of history keep up the good work

Great to see the excitement & appreciation for that bow.

Oneida Pro Eagle. That bow was out well before several other models before the company went out of business.

Love how much joy you have for archery and this bow! Really cool to see archery nostalgia as someone who hasn’t been shooting nearly as long 😊

I always loved the look of those Oneida Bows.

Awesome video Steve,seeing the joy each time you fling an arrow with it. Champion!

the Black Eagle was introduced in 1999 the bow you have is a "Pro Eagle" offered only in SLF & MLF. I can see it has the short cam witch makes it a SLF 27-30.5" & takes 45.5" string. all Pro Eagles came with ESC outboards. The cam mounted draw stop you spoke of was before the 4 cam models. it would have been offered on the Aeroforce, LightForce, Strike eagle, Tomkat3 with the(2 cam) K-cam. it touched the "shark fin" not the riser. The Light Force Magnum was the first machined riser with 2 cams offered after the MR80 witch is very rare(machined Aeroforce). CP Oneida was originally created by Claude Pollington & John Islas in Marion, Michigan although John was from Syracuse, NewYork 1982-2016 although Rodger Loomis owned the company from 1998-2005. Pretty sure the Pro Eagle was offered in 2006 with the introduction of the "Extreme" in 2006. The Pro Eagle was marketed as a "Competition bow".

I had never heard of Oneidas until you mentioned it on the channel in another video. Very, very cool. I don't need one, but your excitement makes me desire one. Quality videos as usual.

Awesome bow! Thanks for giving them some love. I still rock my own lever bows a good deal.

I loved those bows. Thinking of trying a new one. Love your reviews

Mate that's in awesome condition. Personally have a Aero Force X80 and can honestly say I'll never part with it. So different and fun to shoot..

Steven I always count on you for an informative, open and honest review and I love your approach. A special thanks for not avoiding the issue of men's mental health. Good on you and mate and please keep the reviews coming!

Very nice video and very nice history around this old lever bow. Around 30 years ago, I went to an archery shop her in Denmark, to buy a hunting bow, because I wanted to take the bowhunting license. I actually saw some leverbows in the shop, but he did not recommend me to buy one. So I got a PSE compound bow. Then 17 years later, I remembered these bows and investigated what kind of bows it was (I didn't know, never saw them before or after), found out and got myself a Monsterbows Phoenix. Awesome bow, camless lever bow. 🙂

I am a Bhutanese guy who shoots finger too. Watch your videos cause your reviews make more sense than most “experts” to me. Much respect and love from Bhutan.

love it Steven you show me the history of my bow today 30+ years old how cool ….. and i love to shoot fingers as well as full equipped ….just exchange the string very quick without a peep and it is ready to rock ❤ …. Greetings from Germany Bernd

Ted Nugent's still rockin and still hunting with his Gold Tip arrows. What a great video! There's a bow like this at a pawn shop close by me. I'm left handed otherwise it would be mine. Really enjoyed this one.

I had that bow, it walked into my shop one day. The man wanted to sell it, I bought it on the spot. It was my hunting bow & everyday shooter. One of the few in my life that went right into my hand & it became a part of me. Sadly I lost it with the rest of my bows when my home was destroyed in a wildfire. I have looked everywhere for one, but never found another. You are very lucky.

I did enjoy your video! Here in central NY where Oneida bows were made they were the rage and everyone had one. But I believe by 30 years ago the Oneida Hay Day was over. I remember wanting a Oneida Eagle 30 years ago. By that time more modern dual cam wheels had taken over.

LOL, I remember these as a kid too. Everyone at the hunting club were drawn to it (another guy owned one). Crazy design but they are still going.

I love old archery equipment. My dad got me shooting with a Bear whitetail hunter when they came out. Later I bought a Bear whitetail 2 in left handed because I am. I still have the whitetail 2 and shoot it fairly often but man is it slow, heavy and LOUD compared to my Cruiser G2. Cheers! And thank you Steven for all the great archery videos. Respect from Niagara falls Canada.

I had an oneida bow a few yrs ago my friend gave it me ,I shot a bowtech at the time but when I shot the oneida it took me back and it was fairly easy to shoot I gave it to uncle which he still has it ,yeah they were the bow that took industry by surprise they were fast and quite and that's all that mattered back in the day

Your smile says far more about it than words....

I use to shot FSL, fingers with compound. All my compounds are from the 1980s, 48 inch axle, small wheels and metal cables, miss those days, had to switch to Olympic recurve to continue with fingers. Love your videos, especially of older bows. Take care.

I am in love with that bow.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Ted Nugent is not a country singer. He’s only the best ROCKER that ever played an electric screaming rock-box (guitar).EVER! He was always cocked, locked, and ready to rock dock! And yah a great Hunter and advocate for hunting. Anyway that’s a sweet bow. I had the Oneida Strike Eagle. Loved that bow. Shot all that old school stuff back in the 80’s-90’s. I’m 56, born in ‘66. That’s the Pro Eagle. Man I shot a lot of deer with that bow. Wish I still had it. Loved this video and thanks for a trip down memory lane.

Exactly what I needed!

All things aside for how cool this bow is. Thank you for your brief comments on mens mental health

I’ve been shooting a Strike Eagle since about 1991. I hunted and shot 3D competitively for years. I used an overdraw at 70 lbs with 377 grain arrows at 315 fps. A rocket in early 90’s. Got married, had kids bow sat for 15 years. I just replaced all the cables and string, installed a Hamskea limb driven rest, modern sight and went with carbon arrows. Better today than 30 years ago. Very tight. Get one.

When i started shooting 15 years ago, these were pretty common in my club. I once saw a guy shoot a perfect 400 3d round with a bare bow Oneida shooting fingers. Theyre pretry cool if you hunt really remote as you can change a string without needing a press

The limbs remind me of my first bow, Mathews SQ2. I shot incredibly well with that bow, wish I kept it.

I've always wanted an Oneida Bow but could never and still can't afford an Oneida unfortunately

Hey Steven I'm not a 100% sure but I think it was the Oneida Eagle. One of my shooting buddies had one when they first came out and we all thought it was the coolest bow ever. Back in the day we all shot our compounds fingers. Just thought I would help ya out too, Uncle Ted Nugent "The Motor City Madman" is not even close to being a country singer. Straight up rocker man. Love your vids, thanks.

Uncle Ted is a" Rock n Roll,Freedom Fighter" and I still hunt with his arrows today. I think I need that bow too 🤣 Thanks for the great reviews.

Good review!

This is a wonderful Bow and i always want to have one sadly there not so much in Germany and the Pricelevel is quiet high but someday .............!!!Thank You for the nice Review !Best wishes from Germany from Javors outdoor kanal!😉

I remember wanting a Oneida so bad when they came out in the 80s as a teenager I would go to our local shop and admire them when I stopped by all the while saving money for my first compound. I settled for a Bear Polar LTD because the Oneida was so unattainable for a poor teenager.

Teds not a country singer lol that’s crazy he’s the motor city mad man ROCK AND ROLL

Very nice bow ....

It even has the string puffs!! There was a High Country, Indian Archery and Oneida at the same time. Had the chance to buy a ton of used Oneidas over the years but always passed. The look just oozes buy me though.

I was managing a archery shop in the mid 80 and I sold the Oneida bows line

I'm still shooting a Light Force Magnum from 1997. Still does everything great. I think I paid $840 at the time. I went to the Total archery challenge in the spring and everyone who saw it wanted to talk about it.

To me it's the perfect bow. The look and feel of a recurve. The power of a compound . In fact Parker from Parker bows even preferred this bow to his. This bow is also great for finger shooting.

I've been shooting a Hoyt SuperSlam Legacy since 1996. Shoot it fingers with a tab. I've never seen anyone derail a bow shooting fingers. BUT we all shot bows over 43" ATA. And no cams all wheels.

Super cool bow

I had a screaming eagle in back in the day with 90 pound limbs.. I wished I still had that bow.

Love the old Oneida bows...I was curious if you would be willing to do a review on the SAS Scorpii bow...I love the four that I currently own...I would like to see what you think of the bow and ultimately see how you shoot it... I'm not crazy about the camo version they offer so all the ones I have are the black version...

Loved my old arrowforce Oneida eagle. Always wanted a black eagle. Can't hardly find parts for them now.

I came across one of these bad boys for cheap a few years ago in left hand, I still regret not picking it up! hahaha. not sure what I would use it for but they are so friggin cool.

Had a strike eagle 70lbs 80% let off .I believe it was 1992 model. It would shoot 245 with a 2213

Pro eagle. Released in 2001. Only half the info you’re giving is correct. It is a great bow. You got that part right.

This bow has a modern descendant. It's called the Pro2G from GString Bow Strings.

Coolest bow ever made.

I currently shoot oneida pro eagle...love it

I've to say when I began archery '92-93' it was recurve. then when I got alot more into it I got my 1st compound "I've still got it now" a browning 50# from then to now I've literally only just fitted a D-loop, overall I do prefer shooting it via fingers.... my new bow PSE Citation I've gone all out & bought 99% of all the toys of which is enjoyable to shoot but the skill & up-keep of shooting has been made alot easier "despite my recent fatigue issues" Yes similarly I had covid about 8-9wks ago mixed with heavy factory work (engine plant) anyway... side note my 1st "robin proper hood" occurred afew days ago!!! 😎

We're gonna make some memories for you aint a Buddy that is really cool I really need to hear you say that the phone lives on past the Archer people don't realize how much value some like that has especially if you got it you're able to hand it down to your children you know

We named that the pro eagle.

Ted is a rock singer.

ACCURATE as a laser!!! You find your most comfortable draw,draw stops create an absolutely most solid wall YOU create. Smoothest draw you’ve ever felt. Adjustable let off,adjustable brace height. They couldn’t create better !?! But most importantly it shoots a heavier arrow faster than most bows. In my opinion yes it is the best compound ever made. Get your release aid and drive tacks Stephen! No brainer!

Very cool, I remember Oneida well but never owned one or even shot one. Ted Nugent a country singer, no not even close! Thanks for the video.

having watched two of the things snap apart through the grip at full draw, I can't get excited about these.

I have always wanted to try out a Onidea.. that one looks very cool.. That sight is not 30 years old had one of them in 2016 that bow I bet is not more than 18-20 years old

I still remember my Aero Force X80 i brought from you, it was bullet prof, but i blew the top limb of the later models (cant remember what model is was after the Aero Force X80) but then Darton release Darton Maverick RC killed Oneida...

The compound bow not the Lever compound from Onida was made in South Dakota or at least the headquarters of the compound division were here and was still being made when I first moved to South Dakota until 2002/2003. The company stopped the compound bow for no reason and the compound division of the company was bought out by Eagle archery that was stopping its compounds for the lever bows only.

any thoughts junxing’s new lever action bow? been considering it for a bowfishing setup

the modified -Oneida Kestrel compound bow was used by the green arrow !!!

Great find and it’s in very nice shape. Ted is a icon but not a god. Pretty sure he would say something similar.

That bow is the pro eagle there were only a handful of the switchblades every made.

That is a Rad bow 😎😎

Full circle my friend

I wanna get an oneida… im in south korea and it’s impossible to get one

I have a Oneida strike eagle

That is a CP onieda it's after the sell I believe.

I had a screaming Eagle.. Bring the one your shooting back I want one.

Great Video! That's the Way I feel about My 40 Year old High Country, Safari! 😊😊👍! When You have what is Perfect too You! "That's all that matters Folks 😊😊! That's the Beauty about Archery! "Your Personal Design! I Love it! Took Mine to Bass Pro Shop for Tuning, New Combo Wires & a Touch of Upgrades! But High Country, Safari was Made Perfect over 40 years ago Folks! People talk about Faster speed's, lighter weight 😊😊👍, that is great but for Hunting! I want all the Weight You can Handle 😂😂! You get that Wild Hog You Shot attacking You , That New lighters Bow may Break into 😂😂 from You swinging that $1000.00 to $2,500.00 dollar Bow against that wild Hogs Head 😂😂! So The Real Hunter's are Keeping their Old Bow's & Up grading, if they want! 😂😂! If they want a New Bow! They Buy One! But Never Selling the Old School Dependable One 😂😂👍! God Speed & God Bless 🙏🇺🇸

Stealth eagle aswell funny story 😄

Great for bowfishing

What about the limbs? As in their integrity after all these years, as it is a pretty old bow. Like I don't shoot my Bear compound any more which I got back in 85. I mean the limbs still look great from years of dragging around the bush hunting but I'm not sure about the fatigue life there, maybe just too paranoid?

One of my hunting buddies used this type bow years ago. I remember he was very good at calling in coyotes with sounds he made with his mouth. And he killed deer with it. We would hang home made stands in giant cottonwood trees and screw spikes into the tree to climb on. Safety harnesses weren’t invented then.

Hello Steven that's the coolest one I had to I've seen. I own a Oneida Phoenix fantastic Bowl. I've been looking for that switchblade for quite some time if you're at all interested in selling it I would pay over $2,000 us plus shipping if you could find a way to part with it let me know thanks for the consideration

Ted Nugent makes rock not country music lol. Great video!👍 thank you for the back ground on Oneida

If anybody wants a Compound bow they can finger shoot the only models I can thing of are a Junxing model M183 that I see lots of Asian People shooting with fingers just fine on KZfaq and a slow old 1994-1995 model that SAS also sells, or they get a Gen-X from Genesis. These are about the best bows for finger use, most of the others one can finger draw are either kids very low poundage models or fixed unchangeable poundage bowfishing bows. There is the Barnet Vortex/Blue and black H20 model one could draw with fingers as well, but the model is only for those with 26-27 inch or 66-68.5 cm draw and under as the model is a older kids to young teen model of bow. The Gen-X is similar to the older Genesis Pro with about 90-95% of parts the same and the Barnet has been made since the 2000's in the same design just updating the sight and changing the camo pattern over the years in the newer selling models.

From men's mental health awareness to Ted Nugent's blemished shaft and a beautiful bow to run them through. Fantastic video!

Hi Steven, do you still have the CP Onieda Proeagle? If so is it for sale

Did you keep the bow?

do you still have that oneida switchblade?

What model is it Steve?

You should contact Dustin Apple on youtube...he is a leverbow oracle...
