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!!!

Just an FYI, we didn't sell the bow but you do realize the limbs are now 30/50 or close. The decals still read 35/55 but they only come 30/50 now. It is not uncommon to have a variance in limb weight and scales for that mater. I have seen as low as 46 and as high as 53 come in, also 1 more thought, did you adjust the weight? They do not come maxed out from the factory!!! Hope that helps!
Careful Hoopty, I still shoot my 35/55's at 52#'s. Clear water makes you do crazy things!!!!!!

Im not bashing Oneida but they do need to come up with a better way of advertising their weight range, it seems everyone gets different answers according to what day of the week it is as to what their bows are built at. Lots of confusion here and it hasnt been addresed at all...
my swamp donkey wouldnt go over 47 to 48 lb with the mods from the factory just change them out with the low #s in the bag and see if that dont help
This is funny 
Not that your bow isnt what you thought but the comments are.... Try and Angler maybe you can give us the specs on it :fire:

Maybe if you add some speed balls to the string this would do the trick :laugh:
They would need to be a balls like these tough, He is still fresh if you want to come cut them off

All I have to say is that my osprey has stuck a 3' a 4' two 5' and a 7' gator gar and too many 3 to 5 foot needles to count all from 2 to 4' deep and out as far as 45 foot on the smaller ones... Idk if its just your bow but I have yet to have a problem with penetration... and shes set at 30 pounds even and 65% let off
Switch your digital scales from KG's to LBS.That should help.Also,try shooting thru a chronograph,not a little league radar gun!
Hey Jeff the bows shooting great! Me and Joe got it straightened out and its glorious now! Thanks for takin the time to show me everything you did the other day. But when we goin fishin?
I don't mean to make fun of your situation KY, but some of the replies on here are hilarious. This thread has got me rollin. :laugh: :laugh::tu:
80% let off???? Your not drinking kool-aid, your having stagnet donkey piss :dh: Get that sucka way down and let the dog hunt :hb:
AND 6... THEY BY GOD SHOULDN'T MARK THEM 55# BOWS IF THEY WON'T DO IT!! That's the point here.. It doesn't matter if anyone thinks that's overkill or not!! It doesn't matter if you can kill with less.. I can to.. But I want my other 10 pounds I expected and paid for!!! The point is.. It is not putting out.. I posted on here just to make sure it wasn't something stupid I was doing.. But NO! I don't care if the koolaid just got pissed in!!!
WOW ill just stick with my 50lb kingfisher this all sounds so complex. DRINKING THE WATERD DOWN APPLE JUICE BABY:grin::grin:
If your that upset about it, sell it to me because it sounds like it ought to go down to around 25#s which is what I shoot.....THEN u can call Oneida, ***** em out, and get u a 30-50# bow....maybe even labeled right haha
