    I turned my bow up yesterday (Hoyt powerhawk) one turn. After taking a few shots I realized my bow makes a creak when I'm almost at full draw. Any suggestions?

    Lower the poundage and lube the contact points in the pockets. Then raise the poundage back up. Lowering or increasing the poundage, loosening or tightening the limb bolts, does make a slight change in limb position. I suspect that from shooting they just need lubed. It is always a good idea to lube the axles and limb contacts once a year. Wax the string and check the tightness of set screws more often.
