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.
Oneida's early owner's manual (Tomcat, Phantom, Strike Eagle) shows White for the power cable and Red for the yoke cable.
Same cable colors as Long (31–34″), which takes a different string. Measure your draw length or brace height to be sure.
Same cable colors as Medium (28–31″), which takes a different string. Measure your draw length or brace height to be sure.
