The window cut outs in the riser is a easy way to tell

 

If the cutouts above the shelf don't look like this one than its a first gen. As far as I know that's the only difference. All first gen were wood limb were as some, not all, second generation risers have ESC.

 

Black eagle 1 first gen

 

Damn I thought the pic was more clear than that. First gen be1 also has 2 berger holes

 

Thanks, it's a Gen 1. New toy to play with.

 

wasn't there a blk eagle 1gen and then 2nd gen and then came the blk eagle II... if I remember correctly from reading some of the Oneida history on Joe's forums...

 

Think so, I have a 2001 BE first year CP Oneida, has the different riser cutout with single Berger button hole and wood outers. The first BE was 2000 original Gen 1 I believe,right after LFM

 

mine was a 2000 blk eagle and was told it was pre CP... so this would be a gen 1... also been told the riser is a tad different then the gen2 cp Oneida so these hard to find cnc rest and molded or 3d printed rest will not work...

 

This is mine be1 and skippy said its a second gen riser

 

 

now Im really lost...lol..

Noobshooter - bow doesn't have the riser cut out by the holes you would screw your rest too...

Mine has the riser cut out on the riser by the holes you would screw your rest too...

Trashman riser looks like my Blk eagle II but looks to have wood outboards...

 

I dunno have to ask skippy but like i said he told me its a be1 with the gen2 riser and wood outers they only made them for like a yr with that riser

 

Salty yours and Noobleshooters are both first generation Black Eagle one risers and are pre CP Oneida and only made for a year I think. My old one that I posted pics of, along with Trash Mans are second generation Black Eagle one risers. Black Eagle two riser is much different than any of these. Hope this helps

 

I think skippy or garpoon has the riser right now joe has the limbs
