They have yokes but may not fit your particular bow but would be worth a call. You can sometimes find parts on eBay.

 

Thanks, I’ll look into it. I spent some time on eBay and found some stuff, but not what I need.

 

Looks like something that you could maybe make?

 

Your right, it doesn't look too complicated. I'm really hoping to find somewhere to buy them because I could easily spend more time than the bow is worth. It looks like they sell here and on ebay for $200 so its not worth spending a ton of time.

 

have you reached out to Oneida? I think they may have them, you might even be able to get draw length / let off modules, cables, etc..........(I think)

 

After making this post, I did some more snooping on the Oneida website (before I had only checked their parts page). In their FAQ it says to reach out to them and they may be able to connect you with a parts supplier. I shot them an email but haven't heard back yet. Fingers crossed.

Based on the age of the bow, its probably not a bad idea to replace some of the other hardware.

 

LFM, an AT member, is a staunch Oneida shooter and knows more about them then anyone else I have come across. You might want to reach out to him via a PM and see what he has to offer?

 

Thanks for the lead, I'll message him when my account privileges go through.

 

Honey creek archery sells them. they also sell strings and cables. Never put an Oneida in a bow press. If you’re on FB. Join leverlovers. I’m an admin there. All sorts of resources for your bow.

 

Thanks, I'll join the group!

 

It’s called a yoke splitter. You should be able to find it on eBay. The ones that Gstrings sells are aluminum and way more expensive.

Bisch

 

There is a set on eBay right now for $24.

Bisch

 

I found that same listing now that you gave me the right search terms. Looks like a good fast and easy option. Cheap enough that I won't feel bad if I still decide to get the aluminum ones later.

 

Also, that bow has had to have been somewhere with extreme heat for that yoke splitter to be deformed like that. When you get a new one on there, go slowly the first few times you try to shoot the bow.

Also, get on YouTube and do some learning. There are 2 little round wheels with a tiny cable going thru the riser from top to bottom. That is the timing cable. If you try to adjust the draw weight without loosening the timing screw on the cam, you could definitely fubar the timing cable.

Good luck! Those bows are a blast to shoot.

Bisch

 

I'll find out about the timing cable. Unfortunately I have definitely adjusted the draw a few times without loosening that screw so I hope I didn't mess it up.

 

Also, DO NOT LET YOUR SHOP PUT THAT BOW IN A COMPOUND BOW PRESS!!!!!!

You don’t need a press to work on those bows, and a press will only mess things up!!!

What model is that bow? It should have a sticker on the outside of the limb. Can you read the sticker on the inside of the bottom limb that has the bows specs?

Bisch

 

After making this post I learned that it should not be put in a press. Definitely not taking it back to that shop....

Anyways I think its cool I can work on this bow with tools I already have. Maybe I'll just go ahead and replace all the cables to be sure.

 

I have had an aversion to Oneida eagle bows since the late 80s. I shot a lot with one of their factory shooters and got showered in parts quite regularly. The things scared me. My PSEs did their share of blowing up in the late 80s, but nothing like the Eagles.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll wear my safety glasses the first few times.

 

I've had this Oneida Eagle sitting in my garage for 20+ years that I got in my sister's divorce.

It was nice of her to let you have it, how long were you married?

Sorry, sometimes I just can't help it.

 

I would replace all of the steel cables and string before shooting. The cables and swedges are prone to corrosion.
In the 80's Oneida Eagle decided to become involved in the target shooting competitions. They got a couple of top Pro's to shoot the bow. It only lasted a year or two and the Pro's went back to a regular compound bow.
At that time, it wasn't uncommon for bows to "blow up" during a tournament, wood, fiberglass laminated limbs and die cast risers held together with steel cables and Dacron strings. No comparison to today's equipment.

 

I shot Eagle back the 80's.
Mine blew up only because I was trying to wring all the speed out of it I could. Way to light an arrow. I'm much older now and a little bit smarter.

 

Be proactive on replacing the steel cables. Easier to replace cables than repair the bow when a cable breaks.
When I was practicing during the week and going to tournaments on weekends, I replaced the cables once a year.

 

Good to know. I’ll order some replacement cables as soon as I’m sure it’s a medium.

 

If you get to the point that you can take the bow all the way down and apart, the ends of the power cables (the stranded steel cables that go around the cams) should be color coded. That’s how you know what replacement cables to get.

Bisch

 

Unfortunately it doesn't look like my cables are color coded. I turned the weight down and got it to full draw this morning, had my wife measure the DL which is between 31 and 32. Between that and the tip to tip length, I can be very confident that its a medium, so I should be able to order the correct kit from g-string.

 

For a Medium Aero Force the Power Cables have a Yellow Color the Yoke should have a Cop / Blue from the Oneida Labs Spec Sheet. String Length is 47 1/8 and Brace Height Range is 6 7/8 to 7 1/8
Draw Modules 28 to 29 (80% Let Off) = E, 29 to 30 (80% Let Off) = F & 30 to 31 (80% Let Off) = G
(65% Let Off) = 12, (65% Let Off = 15 (65% Let Off) = 18
Outboard Limb ID S

OP, I shot for Oneida for years back in the day....and the problem was always keeping the bow together long enough to finish a tourney. Sucked.

My advice......Dump that thing on the scrap heap and get yourself a modern bow. As soon as you get one part fixed...another will fail.

 

Odd I have been Shooting an Oneida Lite Force Magnum Since 2003 Never HAD Any Problems some People Claim that is over 20 Year! I Shoot a "HEAVY" Arrow shooting a Light Arrow the Bow has To Absorb the Recoil that is maybe why the Arrow Chart that Comes in the User Manual is Not the Same as the Easton It Jumps to the Next Level Up of Arrow if anyone were to Read The Manual. Twenty Years is a Long Time and none of the 3 LFM;s and ! Aero Force I have had since 1995 Still has Had Zero Issues! Guess I know how to Set Up an Oneida because If I have Had Zero Issues that says Something!!! All the LFMs I bought Used and the AF was a 1994 on Clearance in 1995 New. The LFM was only Produce in 1997 and I Still Shoot and Hunt with all 3of the LFM I current own.
But I replace the String annually and Lube the Cam Axles & Bearing Races all Original.

I have 2 Screaming Eagles that are probably over 40yrs old. At one time, they were my go-to, #1 hunting and 3-D bows. The only issues I have ever had out of mine was power cables coming apart. I had it happen on hunts; I had it happen at tournaments. Yes, it was somewhat of a PITA and inconvenient, but at the same time, I could fix it right there and keep on going because you don’t need a press to work on theses bows. Like LFM said, these bows like a heavy arrow. But they tune just as well as any other bow if you know the nuances of Oneidas. Again, once you learn what you are doing, working on them is easy-peasy. In 2023 I killed 2 javelina and a blackbuck doe with mine. It had been sitting in the closet for probably 15yrs til I pulled it out for those hunts.

Bisch

 

I bought a Strike Eagle during covid from a guy who's grandpa hunted deer with it until he couldn't pull it back anymore. I love shooting it and have gotten pretty good with it. Good to know i should probably replace cables soon.

 

The problem you will have is finding the replacement cables. And finding someone that knows how to replace them.

 

If you have any Mechanical Aptitude working on an Oneida is not difficult the parts are just arranged differently and No Press NEEDED! With todays Technology Parts can be made and or Found. If you ask the right people.
That was why at 1 Time Oneida Labs put out a "Tech Tape" and that assisted Oneida Owners with working on some of their Models. Today ability of taking detail Images will also Help to make sure you get the Timing Cable restrung Correctly if you do not have a copy of the Old Tech Tape. DO all my own work on my Oneida Aero Force and Lite Force Magnums have for some years prior CP Oneida was a good resource the new Oneida is NOT! Only will to work on 2010 & Newer Models which was why the Oneida Labs and CP Oneida was great they worked on just all Oneidas Made and had majority of Parts. But Today we are a Quick to Throwaway because Service is No More. Sad part is the US was Built on a Parts & Service Economy that is Now All Lost! And we as Americans are Paying top Dollar buying anything as most things only last a Short Time and parts are soon Gone!

their old owners manuals were absolutely incredible in terms of details, adjustments, parts replacement, etc................................another old post that got me

 

Ttt

 

I had an old Tomcat and preferred it over the screaming Eagle because it was more quiet. That said I wasn't a big fan of the bows because all the parts like the power cables etc that can wear in time. Hopefully you'll get some good help I punted on 1st and 10..........just because they were so different. But it was a fun bow to shoot.
