Tomcat III (T-III)
Built 1997–1999. Serial numbers start with T. Not your bow? Pick another
All Tomcats (Tomcat, Tomcat II, Tomcat EXP, Tomcat III and T-III EXP) are the same bow. Only the limb size, cams, cables and strings changed, so order strings and cables for your exact model and size.
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.
| Size | Power cable ends | Yoke cable ends |
|---|---|---|
Orange on the crimped end only |
Orange both ends |
|
Yellow on the crimped end only |
Copper one end, Pink the other |

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