Hey guys, a good friend gave me a 1990 right handed oneida strike eagle in reasonably good shape. It had some of the things you might expect on a 30 year old bow, some of which I've replaced. The peep is a stretchy tube kind and the old tube was dry rotted so bad it just fell apart.

I found YouTube instructions on timing the bow, got that done no problem.

The problem i still have is that the string appears to be shifted off center about 1/4" left. It appears that the outer limbs are shifted left and as a result the string is off center. If I lined up the ancient Martin 3 pin sight with the string and the arrow rest it's clear that this has been the case for some time.

Does anyone have any idea how to shift the outer limbs back on center? I like this bow a lot, but I understand that it's weird and unconventional. I appreciate y'alls input.

It sounds like the limb has twisted. Might have been stored standing up.  Great bow with a cult like following.  I recommend taking it to a bow shop for new strings, cables and peep. That would be a good time to really look at that limb .

Check the limbs closely. Mine developed a hair line crack that could have been catastrophic if I kept shooting it. Overall one of my favorite bows back in the day.

I love Oneida bows.  I'd take it to a bow shop and get it checked out to be sure.  I had to sell mine years and I can't afford to replace it anymore.  I really, really would love to have another.

Oneida still makes great bows, the company has been reborn as far as I know.  Small town right near where I grew up.  Might consider contacting them if you don't get the answer you want from Cabela's or your local pro shop.

Yes, some models.
