Rack, you're behind the times. It used to be 10-32. It got changed to 10-24 about 20 years ago. I happen to know because I used 10-32 in 10-24 holes way back when. It's very hard on the riser.

I knew it was ten - something..............lol,..............

Not bad for an ex-mechanical engineer................

OK, 10-24. Got it.

...and the arrow point inserts are 8-32,...

but what about the stabilizer hole?

Is it 1/4 -20?

Stabilizer hole on my bows is 5/16" fine tread.

Cross threading is the original lock-tite.

ewolf, you got it. Except it gets a might sloppy when you remove the screws later.

Stabilizer hole is 5/16x24, which is fine thread as posted above. While e're at it, rest mounting hole is 5/16x24 also.
