Default squeaky release

Maybe I'm over paranoid about noise, but the leather on my release creaks a little when I draw back. Anyone else have this? What do you do about it? I suppose I could oil it but I don't want to introduce the smell. Today is the last day of bowhunting anyway but I'd like to have an answer for next season.

nny243,

I have had a similar problem. I used beewax on the leather parts. Rubbed it hard and fast to heat it and it soaks in. It's natural and I haven't noted any reason for the smell to spook game.

I would saddle soap it. But then again I haven't found a reason to say I have lost a deer do to sent either. Best of luck

leather creaks when its dry....might try rubbing nose grease on it....it works on cables.

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!
