H250
Built 1984–1989. Oneida's chart says H250s built 1984 to 1985 have numbers only, and serials from June 1986 to March 1987 start with A. After that, H250 serials start with H2. If yours is numbers only or starts with A, the serial doesn't show the model. Text us a photo at 270-318-2020. Not your bow? Pick another
Which size?
Pick yours by draw length, or match the paint on your cable ends below.
Label worn off?
Look at the ends of your cables, near the loops. Oneida painted them to mark the size. Pick the row that matches. On this bow the power cable is painted on its crimped end only; the other end sits in a clevis under the power limb. Yoke cables are painted on both ends.

Pick your size to see the string length and cable colors
Each size has its own string length. Oneida also painted the cable ends to mark the size, and where two sizes share colors we point it out.
Same cable colors as 31–32″, 32–33″ and 33–34″, which take a different string. Measure your draw length or brace height to be sure.
Same cable colors as 30–31″, 32–33″ and 33–34″, which take a different string. Measure your draw length or brace height to be sure.

Strings, cables and parts for the H250
Strings and cables are built to your size, so pick your size above first. Everything else can go straight in the cart.
The H250 has plastic limb tips, so we build its strings on Dacron.
