FAQ

Are there videos available to learn about my bow and help me work on my bow?

The Learning Center is a great resource for all Oneida Bow owners. You will find lots of information on repairs and maintenance as well as general bow tips. 

Do you sell internationally?

We do have a few International Dealers and also have several Oneida Dealers that ship internationally, please refer to Dealer list

Do we sell limbs?

No, we do not sell limbs. If your bow is within the servicing requirements and needs a new set, you can send the bow into us, however we will not ship out limbs, cams, or timing.

Can I send my older Oneida Bow in for repair?

Some older models can be sent in for repair. These models include: Black Eagle, Osprey, Talon, Kestrel. All other models will not qualify for servicing, due to outdated parts.

Where can I purchase an Oneida Bow?

You can purchase directly from us via our website or you may purchase an Oneida from any of our many Oneida Dealers. Please refer to the Dealer List under the Resources Tab.

Who repairs or works on Oneida bows?

We have several Authorized Repair Dealers that would be happy to help with most repairs. For any repair that cannot be done by a dealer, you can send your bow in to the manufacturing plant for servicing. Give us a call with your serial number to initiate this process. 

Why shouldn’t I put my bow in a bow press?

Oneida Bows do not need a classic bow press for take-down or repair. The use of a bow press will physically damage an Oneida Bow and could cause bodily injury. We sell Lever Limb Blocks as well as Bow Press Blocks that will replace a bow press for your Oneida bow. 

How do I adjust my draw length?

Draw length is adjusted with combinations of draw modules and draw stops. Please see our instructional videos in the Learning Center for more information. 

What modules should I use?

Modules are a personal choice. In each of the three draw length categories we offer 75-80% , 65%, and 50% let-off modules. Please see our instructional help videos (link)
