Ok... So i finally started drink'n the koolaid.. And went over to a buddies house to shoot through a chronograph.. Well I have my osprey which is fairly new considering it's in swamp assassin.. And marked 35-55 pounds and a short.. So we put it on the scale and maxed out it's only at 45 pounds!! What the F**k?? The whole reason I bought this thing was for more penetration.. The fastest it ever shot was 125fps but averaged between 115-120 fairly consistently.. What kind of bullchit is this?? You buy a bow and it's 10 pounds less than it reads on the sticker when maxed out!! That's not cool.. Am I missing something here?? And speed wise it's about the same as the mission craze or menace.. Where's this hard hitting power everybody talks about?? Speed is speed and I don't care if it's a skippy bow.. If it shoots the same speed as an oneida then you're goin to get the same penetration!! For $500 plus dollars why is this son of a ***** not shooting 55 pounds?? I do have some 50-70 pound power limbs.. Is it safe to put these on a cast riser osprey and shoot 60#'s?? Is this the only way I'm going to get the performance I'm looking for?? Sure it's smooth and looks cool but who cares if it won't perform!!!
I'm a little pizzed with my osprey!!

·No, No, No.....
You called dibs on the whole bow, I just called dibs on the power limbs if in fact he ends up swapping over to higher poundage.
if those are indeed 25-45 limbs, they would come in handy for my next creation...

·No doubt, it ought to be remotely close.
I am just currious to know if they stuck the wrong lable on it by mistake when building the bow at the factory. If not and those are infact supposed to be 55 pound limbs, then Oneida should attempt to help make it right. I havent noticed any such problems with any of my oneida bows, they get within 2 pounds of their advertised weights, so thats acceptable to my standards... This however can be a problem if they are infact 55 pound limbs...

I bought mine this year and it says 55 max on it and maxes out at 45 also... but the box the bow came in said 50 lbs max so I have no clue!

Problem solved. Everythings bigger in Texas. String is probably a foot too long.

If you don't like it you don't have to read it!! And as far as it being used or not.. That's not the point!! Who buys a used air boat? I mean really what a jackass must a guy be to buy something used and expect it to work the way it should.. I would think of all people you would understand why someone would be upset if the "used" product they buy doesnt preform!! I'm pretty sure most of these guys that have commented knew that already considering they either posted on the classifieds ad I bought it from or the thread about me finally getting one! As if just looking at it wasn't enough.. (which is why I posted here.. To find out what could be wrong or if in fact it was made like this.. Like I said first off "have I missed something") I called skippy with his brand new bow osprey.. And guess what 45#'s! His also reads 35-55#'s... I don't care if it the box says 50#... it's still shy of that by 5 and the bow should not be marked 55!!! It doesn't matter if you can kill with a rubber band and a ..... Oh wait that's a sling bow... I think already talked about that!.... I have shot it quite a bit since I've gotten it.. At "real" fish!! Yes it will kill but if it wouldn't turn down past 40#'s how many of you SOB's would be say'n "aww ya don't need to go any lower than 40#'s.. You need at least that to shoot out 10 yards and kill a fish 2 foot deep!!" it's amazing how re-tard-ed some folks are being about this... Hoopty could write Oneida on his pecker and some of you would try to fondle it!

Serious question,, have you called them to ask about it or do you still have your panty's bunched up around your gonads cutting off circulation to the only obvious head your using? :grin::hb:

That may be exactly what I need to do.. which was the whole point of this post.... What could I be missing as to why I'm not getting 55#'s... And as I asked first off.... Is it safe to put a set of 50-70# limbs on here and shoot it at 60#'s?Well if we bidding on 25-45 limbs.....I got a set of 35-55 limbs sitting here on my desk that I will trade you and Ill pay shipping.op:
