A few weeks back I bought this bow on ebay. Since I was going to do use it for bow fishing I figured I'd spruce it up. I painted the riser florescent green and the limbs gray. Once they were dry I did a spray paint hydro graphic dip to add the black. After they dried I sprayed three coats of satin clear coat on it. I think she turned out pretty good. Bad thing is my top cam is giving me fits. I think it's out of time and according to multiple youtube.com videos that seems to be an easy fix.

I owned a couple of Onieda bows through the years. This was one of the first bucks I ever killed. I believe that was a Strike Eagle also.

Don't you change the modules in each cam to adjust the draw length and then loosen the screws up with the star washers to get the cams to time themselves? I had 2 different Oniedas back in the day and that is how to time them if I remember correctly. Cool looking bow but those Strike Eagles were heavy.

Nicknamed mine "The TANK Slapper". Make sure you know where the limbs are when you are shooting fish off a boat. Will put you on your knees and make you trigger shy!

Paint job is looking good. I also use a Oneida for bowfishing. There is a guy that goes by Skippy on FB now that was on Bowfishingcountry.com that works on and repairs Oneida's

Your post brings back some great memories! I used to love my Oneida's. I was 17 in this pic. If you look closely you'll see the outboard limbs of my old Aero-Force X-80 bow strapped to the back of that load. I killed a lot of animals with that bow. One of my local pro-shops used to call me in when someone came in needing work done on an Oneida. These days I'm not sure I could remember the difference between the Power Cable and the Timing Cable. Lol

I think the original Screaming Eagles were only 35% let-off. I still have mine somewhere...

There's a big FB group called Lever Lovers if you want to connect with other Oneida owners.

Please explain the "spray paint hydro graphic dip."

The bolt with star washer on the side of the cam is famous for loosening up and throwing off timing
