    Ok I have a mission venture. It shoots good. Has some old cables and strings but they are not at the point that they need replacing. I always make sure it is tuned and maintained. Bit to the issue....
    Every time I draw back... My bow makes a creeking sound. I can't pin point it but I think it is from the top cam. This has cost me a doe in the 2012 season.

    It just gets annoying and I don't want to miss out on killing a bog buck o killing a doe this next season. Is there anything I can do to remedy this with out taking it to a bow shop?

    Sounds like it could be a limb bolt needing to be greased. I've seen this a lot in the past.

    I would agree with this. Could also be a cam bearing.

    The last time I experienced that, I bought a new bow. :) Try and get someone to stand next to you while you draw, they might be able to locate the exact spot the noise is comming from. I agree with Backcountry about the cam bearing though.

    Cam bearing hang up and clicking when it turns over...

    First try grease it with white lithium grease...if it works then you know it's the bearing ...and then replace it

    If it's happening at the first third of the draw cycle, you might need to check the limb pocket..don't know what kind of pockets the mission have, however I seen types creak on the pivot...and need replacing

    I believe it could be a cam needing to be greased or a limb bolt. Mine was doing the same and since I had it looked at, serviced, tuned, and greased haven't had it since.
