What is wrong with my string? Are my limbs twisted?

I'm no Odeida expert but seems like I remember they have cables running all thr way through the bow grip??

Could be different tensions?

Also the cables that go on each side of that hold the limbs onto the risser may be out of whack as well.

Here's a link to a forum that can surely help. Look for Mikie Day. He lives pretty close to me and is a very nice guy and knows every one they made inside and out.

Oneida link here

take your bow to a factory authorized tech to work on your bow evidently you dont know enough about your equipment to work on it your self.

dont take that personally but you can cause more dammage than fixing the problem if you dont hnow what you are doing to begin with.

better being safe than sorry

Looks to me as your string needs to be waxed .

C903 has hit it on the nose. It is a limb alignment problem which is easily recognized by the amount of wear on the right side of the groove in the limb and the string not being centered. Do not shoot the bow as the string can blow or you can wreck something else such as an outboard limb. Take it to a reputable Oneida technician with this info, they can help you. Bigpapascout hit that one as well---if you do not understand the instructions, best to have those who do work on your bow instead of trying to mess with it yourself, especially an Oneida.. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
