Jeff, Around 93 at a archery shoot. A guy was shooting a Oneida Eagle set at 70 pounds. That thing sounded like a firecracker when he released. Is this still common like it was back then? That bow made my Hoyt Rocket sound like a feather hitting a tree! Trevor Trevor, there are indeed a couple of key things with an Oneida that if not set up properly can make them loud. There are also a couple of "key" noise producing area's from these bows that I have discovered. That's precisely where some of my "upgrades & enhancements" come in to play. I have a decibel meter and through extensive testing and trial and error I've perfected modifications that make these bows as quiet as any bow. I have 7 Oneida's myself and all are shooting fairly light weight arrows and all make just a dull thump upon release as they should. I've tested them against a variety of my Buddies Bowtechs, Hoyt's, Ross's etc. and noise is no worse than any of these and in some cases less. I am good friends with the man whom was the Production Manager when Oneida was in NY and he's often commented that my bows are the quietest he's ever heard so they can be made extremely quiet. Hope this helps answer your questions.

Jeff,
Yeah it does. the limbs just look like the would add noise. I shoot a 2007 Diamond Black Ice now. That bow is very quiet. I always was intrigued by the bows design.

Yeh, it's that or maybe she could get a part time job to help you out. LOL. I'd suggest you getting the part time job, but then you might not have enough time to play with the new toy.

First off...contact Hoyt. There are particular cam models that some model limbs will not support. Generally, if you can get the same string track with a different cam since riser designs and centershot is not the same bow-to-bow, and/or are able to align the cam correctly in the limb slot...it will work. You may be able to get the rigging measurements from Hoyt, or it may come down to a "best guess" situation and some tweaking. For example, during the advent of fast-flight rigging, the Hoyt AIM wheels were being put on a number of different bow lines to get the new material and get rid of tear-drops. Some it would work, others it wouldn't. I recently re-rigged an older PSE with an updated cam. It took some trial and error in getting the string track right (an extra washer or two). I recommend taking your 1st measurements for the rigging, and then testing with the cheapest strings you can go with. get them where they need to be cam-rotation and timing-wise....then order aftermarket rigging in the exact length. I would call Hoyt first though. For your model they may be able to give a few options to start with.
