Shooting Oneida Kestrel and Phoenix 2017

[@MasterVashTheStampde]

Hey Harry, do you still have this Kestrel? Do you still use it? If not, I'm dying to get my hands on one. Feel free to PM me if it's just sitting unused somewhere

[@valiant7802]

I love the sound of it

[@drrejimathew3919]

what is the overall length of the kestrel and phoenix bows?.Tip to tip ,I mean.

[@randlyons7278]

A question for anyone that knows and is willing to respond with unbyest strait answer. Of the two current Oneidas one is referred to as a fishing bow. Hmmmm. Why is that ? Also , do they have a let off with adjustable valley as do the contemporary compounds ?

[@TexasSlinger]

don't aim up and draw. grounds for disqualification in some contests. plus bad habbit... nice bows

[@harrysorandom1217]

Texas Slinger thank you for letting me know. Already others have told me same thing what you said, and I’m working to fix it thanks.

[@reasoning_exp]

Which do you prefer?

[@harrysorandom1217]

I love both. But I choose the Kestrel because I love the way it looks.

[@C3.J4Y]

Hi there, im really getting into archery and thinking of getting a bow in the future and ive settled on oneida bows but im not sure which one to pick but i do have interests in the kestrel,phoenix and the eagle can you please tell me the difference between the 3 bows and possibly also tell me the advantages/disadvantages of each bow ?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Hello, I never owned or shot a eagle. But I shot Kestrel and Phoenix. The difference between the two are going to be the weight and the phoenix having a string stopper/suppress sound. Also phoenix being a newest model. Kestrel will be hard to find now days. I wasn’t able to find any disadvantages other then the Kestrel having little more weight. This is from my understanding of the bow from my experience. I’m not a professional archer. I just love to shoot. Hopes this helps little. Ask me if you have anymore questions:)

[@C3.J4Y]

@@harrysorandom1217 thx for answering my question, i would also like to ask on your opinion about which bow feels better in hand and which is better to use and the durability of each bow in long-term use and short term use.

[@harrysorandom1217]

@@C3.J4Y I usually shoot for 2 hours straight and both of them feels great. I chose the Kestrel over my Phoenix for its visual look and rarity:) Durability wise, they both seem to be the same. I would recommend you to go with Phoenix because you can buy it brand new. The kestrel might be only through 2nd hand probably. For long term usage, it depends on how you take care of it. Hope this help:)

[@C3.J4Y]

@@harrysorandom1217 thx so much ill try to find a kestrel but if not possible i'll go for the phoenix, thank you for the info :D

[@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?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Andrea Paunovic I really love both bows. But I'll try to tell you the difference between them and you can decide from there maybe. Phoenix parts are all metal while kestrel has plastic parts. Phoenix is lot heavier then Kestrel. They both feel good in hands. Phoenix is lot more quieter then Kestrel since it has damping system which also gives long life spam of shooting. I hope this can help you by little on which bow to buy. I was actually going to buy kestrel first but I heard that Phoenix was coming for pre order and was told that the Phoenix will be better then Kestrel. But after a year, I bought the Kestrel because I had my heart set to it first before the Phoenix.

[@andreapaunovic2442]

nicely like the kestrel. is there a difference in speed, stability, precision, and things like this?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Andrea Paunovic speed why's I am not sure. But accuracy wise there both good and depended by the user shooting it. I was both shooting them around 50 draw weight and it seemed the same and feeled the same. I hope this helped you little. Thank you

[@andreapaunovic2442]

Yes thanks. Does the kestrel only have plastic round cams or something else?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Andrea Paunovic Im not at home at this time to be exact but the Timing wheel and Idlers are plastic for sure. I found a custom shop that sells those part in metals to replace the plastic for the Kestrel. Here is the website if your interested by any chance and I hope this helps you :) gstringbowstrings.com/products

[@m3xicanvoodoo]

I really want one of those beauties. I have the same recurve I had since I was 18 (a hand me down from my grandpa) but I want to branch out and not keep using the same recurve over and over

[@obstaclearch6743]

Where are you guys shooting at

[@harrysorandom1217]

pasadena roving archers:-)

[@thorodinson5201]

Hi I know I’m late but do you know any stores that will sell the Kestrel

[@carlossalazar972]

So quick question regarding onieda bows: Is the draw one smooth fluid motion like a recurve or does it have let off like a compound, where it starts at 70 and drops to 10.

[@dr.richardmatthews9494]

I have one, and can tell you they do let off; they're technically a compound. Letoff on mine is adjustable from 50-80%. But the draw is much smoother than conventional compounds, though not as fast a bow with light arrows. With heavy arrows the Oneidas don't give up much to conventional compounds.

[@thorstenkummel6782]

question how do you aim if you dont seethe top off Your arrows,?

[@andreapaunovic2442]

hi.mi can you tell me what is the extension that can be used on a kestrel short lite force? if I'm not wrong it should be 27-28-29 inches, right?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Andrea Paunovic sorry if I'm wrong, but are you asking about draw length?

[@MacStrange]

I will build my version in Mac Strange style. Thanks for post it.

[@TheUnknown-is1fx]

See what the weird thing is, I am right handed but I use my left hand for holstering the bow

[@andreapaunovic2442]

is there any difference in the accuracy of the arrow, and the pinch in the fingers between the kestrel and the phoenix when you shoot with your fingers?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Andrea Paunovic when I'm shooting with fingers, Kestrel and Phoenix performs the same. Phoenix seems bit more smoother.

I have the Phoenix. Having a VERY hard time finding the correct arrows. Can you give me some information on where to buy the right arrows online? That would be great.

Hi Medjay, I had a professional person help me. I suggest you to take yours to a bow store.

@@harrysorandom1217 Thank you for the advice great shooting btw.

[@zombiekompound5394]

So the biscuit doesn't get in the way of sighting down the arrow? that's awesome

[@harrysorandom1217]

It doesn’t get in the way of sighting down. I like the biscuit,

[@tonyhamilton6948]

Are these bows like the ones in the TV show Arrow and which ones are best in you want to start out using one?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Tony Hamilton Oneida Kestrel is the one used in the TV show Arrow. In my opinion, both bows are great. The phoniex is the newest in line for Oneida.

[@tonyhamilton6948]

Harry So Random so that would be the bow I would want to use to be my first bow?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Tony Hamilton Both bows are great, it's up too you to decide which one you want to get

[@JosephJoJoFlores]

Which is better if you recommend?

[@harrysorandom1217]

If you want quiet, go with Phoenix. Other then that, I think it's pretty much identical. I like Kestrel.

[@JosephJoJoFlores]

Harry So Random so you prefer kestrel over Phoenix?

@@JosephJoJoFlores yes

[@christianlequoix7473]

Which do you like better? I have 11 different Oneida bows, my fav is/was BE2... But I am thinking this new Phoenix may have to be bought. Your thoughts? Better than the Kestrel?

[@harrysorandom1217]

Christian LeQuoix I’m new to archery, the Phoenix is little bit heavier then Kestrel because of the new suppression system, but a lot more quieter then the Kestrel. You should definitely get one.

[@sniperkushan]

I am also planing to take one Phoenix, but next year.. :) :)

[@gigilaco]

Great video!

[@nerdanderthalidontlikegoog7194]

the phoenix seems to be quieter

[@harrysorandom1217]

nerdanderthal IDontLikeGooglePlus yes it is quieter. It has a damping system which it makes the bow quieter.

[@1rolmos]

I can tell that your brace height is off the the kestrel. You need to add twist to the bowstring. Setting the bow to its higher recommended brace height will make it quieter and easier to draw.

[@harrysorandom1217]

1rolmos how would I do that?

Remove one end and add a few twist to the string to increase brace height.

Try not to pluck the string .
