Default Creaking Noise ?

I practice twice a week shooting my bow , I took it out today and heard a creaking noise everytime I draw my bow back.
I checked the limbs real close for any cracks but couldn't find any.
My question is " what else could be making that noise " if the limbs are ok.
I'm planing on taking my bow to my local pro shop this coming Wendsday of this week to have it looked over.

I have found the axles doing this after a few years. Just take them out, and clean them and lube them up. It has stopped creaks before for me.

Its easy to remove. Just use a 3/16" punch. Put your bow in press, or portable press, and punch them out. The punch will hold your cams and strings on. Clearn and relube, and reinstall. Might want to check for warpage while at it.

I'm very nervous about creaking limbs. I had a pse baby-g that did that. I didn't see anything at first, but finally found a hairline crack in one of the limbs. Be careful. If you can't put it in a full press, take it to a proshop. I would be very cautious.

Going out on a limb here... I had a creaking noise too when I got a new release. It turned out to be the leather strap. Could that be it?

Good new's everyone my limbs are ok no cracks , just a little rust in the cams.
I took it to my local pro shop and they put my bow in a press , took everything apart then cleaned them real good.
My bow is shooting real quiet now, just like a church mouse.

Creaking is almost always a dry joint. Either the axles or the limb rockers. If you have your bow completely disassembled, cleaned and lubed at least every two years, you should never hear a creak or squeak.
