Default Limb pop???

Ipractice shooting nearly every night, and the first time (and only the first time) that I draw back my upper limb pops right around the limb pocket. Is this a hint that my limb pockets need greased? I think the tick may be loud enough for a deer to hear?? I've had the bow for about 6 years, it's one of topbrands in my opinion.....a Hoyt, Mathews, or Bowtech.....I leave it anonymousin attempt tocurb the "buy a and you wont have those problems" comments. Any other suggestions? Thanks. 4Buck

I wouldnt take it apart this close to season. If your confident nothing physically is wrong with the bow, just draw it when you first get in your stand.

yep you should get it check, 6 year old bow probably needs some cleaning and lubeing anyway. If you can hear it I imagine a deer will too. hard to be a silent assin when your bow is poping

I am a bit confused. Did your limb pop out of the limb pocket or is there just a "popping" sound in the limb pocket area when you draw the bow back. If it is the latter then, yes, I would agree that the bow should be disassembled and the limb pocket lubed.

The limb is making a popping sound, more like a click.I hate to take it apart this close to season, it's perfectly tuned and shooting good. I don't notice any splits/cracks in the limbs. I had the axles lubed a month ago, but theclick is definately coming from around the limb pocket. It happens at about 1/4 draw, if that much. Thanks for the suggestions......I guess I havea longbow to use if I have to.
