Well i tore it all down last night, some of limb hinge hex screws were rounded out so ill definitely have to get some more tooling when i go home to finish tearing it down. About to call Joe and see if he can tell me what the effect the different power cables i have are
 
uh huh...you probably didn't know to loosen the timing screw b4 tightening the limb bolts down either,did you? :laugh:
I am staying out this time......I wanted to mention that to him before but didnt want to start another war.

If your timing cable breaks you will now know why

:cf: What's the big debate? I've always loosened the TS prior to making poundage adjustments.Then retighten the TS PRIOR to drawing the bow.There shouldn't be a debate at all.That's what you're supposed to do_Obviously it works(last 20 yrs.anyway) since I've never broken a timing system.Who says you don't have to?
 
good god this is like reading a calculus 2 book or some chit... tighten this loosen that do three circles one back flip then she will be perfect... Blue cables red cables yellow cables :groan:

haha you crazy nut tapper lovers

Jeff,I stated the fact just a while back,and got jumped all over,actually JOneida and I did,I am with you have always,as thats what the manual said to do,but I guess there is more than one way to skin a cat...I will continue to do it the way I always have,not like its a big deal

Exactly,it only takes 2 seconds to do it the right way.
 
For those new to oneidas and working on their own oneida bows I would recomend loosening the timing hub tensioning screw before making adjustments to limb bolts. Incorrect tension on the timing cable may only throw off your timing a little but if off to much can cause the timing cable to break. It only takes a few seconds to loosen this timing screw and when done tillering the bow you know you have the tiller and timing cable tension correct. For those who choose not to thats their choice.
