I am getting a squeak the first time I draw my bow or after a short period of inactivity.  I thought I read that vaseline in the limb bed would stop this, but I can't remember the source.  What do you guys use?

Dave, Bow string wax is what I have used when needed. I am sure others have tried other products and will chime in.

I second the bowstring wax. Worked very well on my Robertson.

I'll chime in on wax for the third time. Used it on my Pronghorn takedown.

Yep ,bow sting wax , works great! Ill third! :  

make that 4th:

My bowyer put a thin layer of felt on the riser.  I've never had a squeek.  Good luck with your search!

I have a layer of cork made from gasket material on my Quinn Stallion and these are slicked up with Vasaline. The lubrication is as much to keep moisture out as anything.

Two things I have used.

#1. Another vote for string wax. Works great.

#2. Thin cork gasket material. I tried it on a recurve that I had a while back worked great.

I have used the soft side of velcro with good succes,just a .sugestion

A piece of bicycle inner tube cut to fit the riser works great.  I did not double it, just one layer, its very thin.

I have used the thin moleskin cut a touch smaller than the contact area.

I have used grease of some type, but also used a thin sheet of plastic (transparency material) to make a shim.  Worked great.

bow string wax works very well (it's what I use) also vasalene works well. At home bow string wax in a pinch vasalene

I prefer Johnsons paste floor wax over bowstring wax..

String wax works for me too.

I cut pads from thin suede leather (elbow patches from wallyworld), makes the whole bow quieter.

A lot of no nonsense here,all good sistems.

String wax will generally take care of it in most cases.  I have some plastic gasket material that I sometimes use on bows and that works well also.  It is sticky on one side, so mounts securely on the riser.  

Be careful with some other types of gasket materials.  They can trap moisture when hunting in wet conditions, and it has a difficult time drying out.   Moisture in the limb bolt holes is not a good thing, so take the time to take your bow down and dry it out.
