Bow maintenance
 
Lately when I shoot I get nice loud game scaring creaking coming from the cam and wheel on my bow. What do you guys like to use for lubrication on the bushings; graphite, some kind of teflon spray, or maybe mineral oil, or something else all together?

Welcome abord Joel-

Technically if the bow you own has sealed bearings- they aren't really supposed to require any lubrication...but...

Is this only when you shoot? or when you draw the bow? or both?

white lithium grease is good stuff for axles--just a very little though.

I you do not do your own bow work, I would suggest taking the bow to a competent pro-shop, let them take it apart and relubricate everything/check the axles/cam bushings/limb pockets/pivots/bolts, etc etc.

I second lithium , its what I use , Teflon powder is good also , but hard to come by , stay far away fro penetrating oils like wd40 exc .
