Osprey (before 2017)
Built 2004–2016. Ospreys built 2004 to 2009 have serials starting with C.P.A., which don't show the model. We don't have records for later Osprey serials yet. Text us a photo at 270-318-2020. Not your bow? Pick another
The Talon is the same bow: the Talon is the hunting version, without stainless bolts, and the Osprey is the bowfishing version, with stainless bolts. The Hawk is an Osprey with the shortest outboard limbs.
Which size?
Ospreys from before 2017 share the Black Eagle II / Talon chart. In 2017, when the Phoenix came out, the Osprey's string and cables changed to the Phoenix chart.
Pick yours by draw length, or match the paint on your cable ends below.

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.
