squeek

Post by wcbarker »

When I cock my bow it squeeks I think it is the wheels against the bow. Do I just wax where the wheels run??????????

The Brass "wheels" should not touch the bow. If so, use a thicker rope. The wheels should ride on the rope only.

If a problem, show a pic. And is your cocker rope factory or aftermarket.?

Sometimes the squeak can come from between the stock and the rail. It might be a good idea to do a nut and bolt check.
Some people just like stepping on rakes

Do you by chance have one of the Parker bow cocking ropes with the rubber wheels that ride against the rail?

Can you press the brass pins out enough to apply some silicon lube on em? Just a dab may quite em down for you.

Good one.
I bought this bow used just to see if I would like it.
I have hunted with everything else so thought I would give this a try.
What is the Excalibur cocking aid wheels made of.
I will try to find one.
Going to Wyoming Wednesday to shoot antelope.
Might not have time to get one for this trip, will try Cabelas at Billings.

Try a little 3 in 1 oil on a small craft paint brush an lube the pins a touch.

They are a nice cocker with those roller wheels riding the rail, my wife uses one. The shop where she bought it had one for the range that squeaked bad.

I took the pins outta one of my four cocker ropes :mrgreen: an polished em up with a drill an 1200 grit emery paper.
