Oneida Phoenix Compound bow Review Part 1

[@travisbunce7334]

You have NOT Failed this Review :P Sorry, someone had to do it. I'm sure I'm not the only "Arrow" Fan. Great Bows, great review as always Steven. I look forward to purchasing one from you in the coming months.

[@ShadowCruize]

about time lol !!!

[@APWPaint]

I have been shooting an Oneida lite force magnum since 97 and still LOVE it!!!!! It's not the fastest bow on the planet but it is cool when you have it out in public and everyone looses there mind over it. It looks bad ass and for whatever reason does penetrate more than other bows. Yeah it's noisey but I also have never had a deer jump the string.

[@rogerkay8603]

Every time I watch one of your reviews I end up buying the thing!! Can't watch you anymore, need the time to shoot my PSE Xpression, Samick Discovery and now my Oneida Kestrel!!

[@zook4886]

Hi again Steve, I must comment. I had a tomcat Oneida. The best bow I have ever owned. I taught Slim Dusty how to shoot a bow when he was staying at the caravan park at hoddywell archery park (yes I have proof ask Ernie) . Anyway for some reason the company went pear shape and no one was selling them. I have photos of my arrows touching at 20 meters . I was a finger shooter then. After owning so many compounds , I have never been happy with any of them. Every one is trying to reinvent the compound. Oneida has stuck to the same concept, with some small changes, and it is my humble opinion they are the best hunting bow ever invented. Mick from N. T. Which I followed his adventures through the pages of archery magazines showed the Oneida as superior to others. Once I sell my awful Hoyt Buffalo I will be placing an order with you . 50# , I don’t need speed, I need accuracy. That’s my two bobs worth. Regards Robert. Western Australia.

[@ganley3886]

A massive thank you for another really interesting bow review/video. My thing is bows but i also enjoy learning about real life outside of the UK. Many thanks.

[@coltonthorpe7812]

I've got an Oneida aero and I love it. I've been shooting recurves for 20 years and I feel like it just made the Oneida a perfect fit the moment I picked it up. I'd love to get my hands on a phoenix.

[@jamesvpaquette]

had the Aeroforce X80. Beast of a bow! I remember they had their own arrow chart specifically for them. looking back today due to the energy they produced they needed the greater shaft weight. I was shooting 2117 shafts for target but 2219 for hunting. It was whisper quiet with the 2219's. Your right with the string as in the 90's S4 was coming out but dacron is just slightly more elastic and quieter. I bet a string set with 8125 would smooth that girl down also.

[@deepiper6529]

I had 2 Oneida Eagle bows back in the 80's. An H250 and a "Screaming Eagle" H600 I believe it was. The H250 was a great bow. Quiet. Not overly fast. Forgiving. At 60 lbs draw with 2216 Easton aluminum arrows it was a smooth, sweet shooter. Then I got the Screaming Eagle. It was fast but loud. No matter what I did I could never get it as quiet as my H250 was.

[@nunayobusiness3384]

Back in 90’s I shot these bows, they sucked for blinds and heavy brushed areas. I purchased their top of the line Eagle and second day limb separated causing the bow to have to be retired etc.. I had a love hate relationship with the bow, easy to draw but slow, great for fingers shooting but louder with release aid. Also they made rubber over string guards which are a must due to debris hanging up between string and limb. Now when it comes to their prices they are smoking their lunch, for this reason with speeds etc.. I believe they will be selling out due to the market and what else you can get in comparison. For what it’s worth this is my opinion. FYI looks like whiskers will be needed which will also lower bow speeds.

[@biggamejim8216]

They owe you a bow. Few reviewers understand these bows or give them a fair shake and your history with them shows. Rare to see someone with a solid history with the lever bows.

[@kingsqueak2221]

Man, the story about your employees stealing and selling your own custom at that...people are horrible. Nice job on the review, nice detail.

[@etiennethouin]

Can't wait for part 2!

[@karenmurray3098]

i must say i am obsesed with these lever bows ,i have both a RPM nitro and a vintage oneida eroforce i agree when you say "zero shock through the riser" ! they are dam fun to shoot , they look cool and it really spits the arrows out. i would love a new oneida but the price point is out of my range . overal i would recomend this bow

[@samueljung2165]

A much waited review!

[@SuperHutch7]

I have the Phoenix bow myself. Having a VERY hard time finding the right arrows. What arrows do I need for this bow, and where can I find them online?

[@JAYFOX4]

love the arrow in the wall above the back sliding door haha

[@bobcasteel4789]

I have my Oneida Phoenix and it’s a recurve on steroids, as for noise it’s not that noisy if you listen to your video you’ll see. I deer hunted whitetail and didn’t have one jump the string not one.

[@YoramSteiner]

Hi Steve. Madden enjoyed a lecture about the Phoenix. a question ? Is it possible to compete with it? Thank you very much Yoram Steiner Israel.

[@MrSinasta85]

A slight editing error perhaps hmmm lol great work mate love ya vids and can't recommend your shop highly enough great range great service with competitive pricing 🤙

[@djteeke]

Any Chance of a review of the new RPM nitro and RPM striker bows? interested to see how those 2 compare to the oneida

[@yvantomac9502]

That was informative.....always Oneida ......... :) Ty Steven :)

[@paleryder5163]

Great review! But one correction. Steven is shooting the Kestrel in the Arrow Series, not the phoenix =]

[@Razziray]

Yet it has phoenix on the limbs??

[@jameshagerman7681]

Any idea when part two is coming?

[@rockyreynolds4027]

I have had several of their bows over the years really enjoyed the Aero80 crazy fast but loud had one blow up and I thought I got hit by a truck

[@wesleycwagner]

Does this bow have let off?

[@joiedevivre7260]

The outer limb is carbon fiber not fiberglass. String stops should not be touching the string at rest. Oneida bows like a heavier arrow. Quiets bow and reduces the stress on cables/limbs. (They will launch a telephone pole if you have the need to.) If you shoot a quiet bow like an HTR and a Phoenix back to back with a decibel meter you'll see the Phoenix is only a few decibels louder than the quietest wheel bow out there. Certainly not as loud as you infer. If your Phoenix is as loud as an old Oneida something is wrong. They are much quieter than the old bows. Put a stab on it, get at least 380 grain arrows and make sure it is in tune.

[@mikethefarrier]

How did you wedge an arrow into concrete block?

[@ACDCRD]

From what I've seen on the Oneida kestrel, this sounds much quieted

[@chrisurbancic8306]

Steve who shot that arrow sticking out of your house lol looked a little out of sorts

[@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale]

It is my recurve arrow. I was trying to get a bolt out the wall. so I can put up the basketball ring. So I put glue on the shaft and I cant budge it now.

[@chrisurbancic8306]

Lol classic

[@rogerkay8603]

Love lever bows, but so expensive in the UK.

[@daniellisy7161]

Hi, how it the Oneida today doing with string and cables? in the past owners complained a lot on the need to change the quite often, how is the new line when it comes to reliability ?

[@sotheamam1244]

Is it better than compound bow

[@adamwittman]

You don't need a press or an oneida press anymore. They have limb blocks that fit in

[@SuperHutch7]

What arrows do I need for this bow? Been looking for information for serval months now. Any info would be great

[@boneyard1222]

Check out Tim wells. He may reveal what arrows he uses with them

[@Donnie67654]

@@boneyard1222 Its not even just the arrows but your arrow rest as well.

[@danielkucko1672]

Love the scenery 👍

[@AceChevChelios]

How can I get this ?

[@LightningxFlame]

Can you do a Hoyt Epik riser video

[@andreapaunovic2442]

I want to buy a oneida bow .. I'm undecided, however, whether to take the kestrel or the phoenix. what would you recommend me?

[@EliteExoticsBp]

Nice video --> shoot the pigeon--> Dinners on

[@danielfetchak1865]

It doesn't sound loud in the video!

[@yt_life1610]

It doesn't seem as loud as u are saying but maybe the audio through the camera

[@fearthespear4242]

how many pound pull?

[@jackguerra9117]

Fuck yes thanks for making a video on this

[@mike01cs]

repeats at 36:32

[@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music]

yes timing you adjust limb weight

[@danielfetchak1865]

If you had a peep sight on this bow your group's would be even tighter.

[@thalecereeu2345]

Meus sonho um arco desse 😔

[@georgescarlett2320]

You are not shooting The "Arrow's" Bow---His is a Oneida KESTREL!

[@szakhiu773]

och amazing:3

[@91donwilson]

$1950?! that's a bit of a mark up there when they sell in Us for about $1550 aud geez

[@91donwilson]

and no short draw

[@zoxwolf2133]

And you are happy you dont live in Europe coz these costs double to us :(

[@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music]

adjust the limb poundage

[@bikeboy0012]

that release slapping is annoying

[@dewboy910]

WTF? No mention of Lef-off? It must not have much if it isn't worth mentioning.

[@xfactoroutdoors165]

They have various letoff settings by changing mods.

[@danielfetchak1865]

Less than $1200 in the USA.

[@joeltan1059]

I envy your long nose that grew to a little to the side so that you could anchor with it.

[@ajh1905]

the price is crazy

[@Red-co5yv]

stop comparing it to the 1990s im not shooting anything from the 90s. how about answering questions that matter, like how it stacks up to modern compound bows?????

Tried to Like but too much talk... Maybe if you had put up tão versions, on short

[@danielfetchak1865]

It doesn't sound like a rifle to me.

[@Voxguitarsrock]

Ted Nugent approved!

[@TheDave570]

Hey, I have several of those, they are called Horn Bows !!!! The concept is NOT new it's thousands of years old !!!!!!!

[@Life-of-Bluegrass_Music]

The RPM Nitro Bows will put Oneida out of business

[@zoxwolf2133]

Yeah, i just ordered Nitro MAG for myself. Damn Trump politics put even greater customs expenses to European archers. My Nitro MAG cost me more than 1K USD and cheapest Oneida goes for 1600 USD. I cant justify this price for lever bow. Damn i can buy best compound and/or trad/Olympic rig for that money so i put my fate on RPM bow. I will see when got it from France but i expect Nitro will justify my expectations.

[@ImThinking3]

You're too fidgety in the beginning. Didn't enjoy the video for about a second. Also, the background yelling gets annoying midway through.

[@5jjt]

Negative. This review is excellent; Great reviewer, and very interesting bow.

[@killingxp2131]

Too much talking

[@darquesand]

This video is not worth watching for 45 mins.

[@bobswartout9450]

he dosent know wtf hes talking about

[@5jjt]

Bob Swartout No, you don't know what you are talking about.

[@zoxwolf2133]

Sure Bob, i hardly wait to listen what you need to say ;@

[@surly60]

Hey Bob did you see that group.....WTF you on about

[@beccairvin9829]

Ok, so you don't know how to time the bow, you draw the arrow back without an arrow (which is a no no) Shoot a huge group and your chronograph doesn't work because it's dark This is a terrible review!

[@arroweyraud8267]

Becca Irvin you can draw the bow without an arrow as much as you want just don't dry fire it. Also what does using more arrows for 1 group have to do with anything?

[@letsgobrandon8375]

Steve is one of the most honest reviewers on you tube even if he is selling something in his shop he tells you the cons to the product. How can't you like this guy?
