once a year by an authorized ONEIDA dealer. All components, including string, cables, fastener,
modules, e-clips, limbs and riser should be carefully inspected for damage or wear.
• Strings and Cables: Apply a light coat of high quality bowstring wax to your string each time
you shoot your bow to reduce wear on your string. It is especially important not to wax the bow
string loops that wrap around the outboard limb tip.
• Strings and cables must be replaced periodically. A worn cable or sting can suddenly break
causing serious injury to the archer and damage to the bow. It is recommended that the string
and cables be replaced at least every 5,000 shots or 12 months. ONEIDA recommends that this
work be performed by an authorized ONEIDA dealer.
• Always store your bow in a cool dry place. High temperatures, such as those that can occur in
the interior of a vehicle, can cause

Under normal conditions, outboard limbs will remain
properly aligned indefinitely. Occasionally
these limbs lose alignment through a rough bump from a minor mishap.
An outboard recurve limb that appears warped rarely has any permanent damage. Usually issues
with limb alignment are a result of either of the following situations:
A. The outboard recurve limb butt section is not sitting parallel with the power limb.

Measure Your Draw Length
The associate at your local Oneida Dealer can help you with this. Or you can do it yourself, while
pointing your bow in a safe direction (downrange) with a secure backstop. Place a full length
arrow on your bow, drawing with fingers or the release you’ll be using, according to your shooting
style. Draw to your anchor point. Mark the arrow shaft even with the front of the riser. Slowly let
down your draw, and remove the arrow. Measure the length from the arrow nock, to the mark on
your arrow shaft. This is your draw length, and will help you select your bow set-up from the
Osprey chart.

Note: If you decide to use a shorter arrow because your arrow rest is mounted behind the riser,
use that shorter length when consulting an arrow selection chart.
Module System
Your Oneida Osprey bow comes with #15 Modules factory
installed, along with a set of #F Modules included in the box,
to help you utilize draw weight range, and let-off settings.
(See Fig. 1) Your bow allows up to 3” of draw length adjustment, and falls into one of the 4 set-up configurations listed
in the chart above. The Yoke Cable column in the chart on
page 6 will help you identify which set-up configuration you
are looking at.
4
Modules
15 (4)
F (4)
Fig. 1
Changing Modules
To change to the #F Modules (or back again), follow these steps:
A. Verify that you have all 4 Modules (one for each cam), and that they are the same shape.
B. Due to molding flash, sometimes the flat side of the modules may need to be touched up with
fine sandpaper, to achieve a smooth fit into the cam. This is best done by laying a sheet of very
fine sandpaper, or a single cut flat file flat on a bench, and moving the flat surface of the
module around to remove burrs. Only a brief touch up will do the trick. (Fig. 2)
C. Loosen the Cam Set Screw as in Fig. 3, and remove the Module by pulling the rear cable back
slightly, dislodging the Module gently with a pencil, and sliding it out. See arrow in Fig. 3. (A)
D. Install the new Module with the grooved side facing toward the cable. Push it in gently but
firmly until it matches up to the cable grooves on the cam. Tighten the set screw snugly, but DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

Draw Weight Adjustment
The draw weight range on your Osprey bow is 30-50lbs. Oneida bows ship with the draw weight
set in the middle of the draw weight range. Before changing the draw weight, draw the bow. It
may be set just right for you. If not, adjust as follows (See Fig. 5):
WARNING! DO NOT ADJUST THE WEIGHT BOLTS UNTIL YOU LOOSEN THE ORANGE TIMING
SCREW. DOING SO CAN CAUSE DAMAGE, AND OTHERWISE PUT STRESS ON VARIOUS
POINTS OF THE TIMING AND POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS.
A. Loosen the orange timing screw.
B. The draw weight can be adjusted using the 2 Weight (adjustment) Bolts. Use a 3/16” Allen wrench for this procedure. Each
bolt has to be adjusted exactly the same amount as the
other. It is important to alternate between each bolt,
adjusting only a ¼ of a turn in the same direction each time.
• Turning the bolts clockwise ___ increases the draw weight.
• Turning the bolts counter-clockwise ___ decreases the draw
weight. After adjusting the draw weight, you should check
your tiller before tightening the Orange Timing Screw.
