I hunt in the rain a lot....and this is the first year that I've had a problem....my top limb pocket made a little popping sound (bow is 6yrs old). I lube the axles every year and haven't every had any troubles with them, but this was a first for the limb pockets.I just got it lubed up today, and the noise is gone.....I'd justschedule a good axle and pocket lubin' during the preseason or postseason.
