RE: 04 Patriot "creaking" on the draw?
When we assemble the bows here, the "pad" between the limb and pivoting pocket is lubed with red grease. What we need to do is isolate the noise. If it is in the limb pocket, it may be a case where there is dirt or debris.
The cam has a bearing, a light TEFLON based oil will work fine on it.
Let me know if you have anymore problems.
