Dave, I had this sameconversation with a corporate guy shortly after I received my newBowTechs this year... I had been shooting in the back yard, and noticed a distinct "buzzing" after a few shots.I was scared to death that I had splintered a limb or something (this was my first real experience shooting the bows for any duration of time, andall I could think of at the time was the proliferation of all those limb threads on the other site which turned out to be mostly bogus)...

Closer investigation revealed I had a mod screw backing out; a few turnsof the wrench, and all was good again. Anyway, the next time I was in contact with someone working with the company, we talked about it. He explained howdifficult it is to make the consumer happy:If the factory loc-tites them in, it's going to hear complaints about how hard they are to break loose, and how it's supposed to be a customer-friendly experience to simply interchange them. If the factory doesn't loc-tite them, you're going to hear complaints like yours above. After thinking about it myself, Iunderstand. I also agree with the company's end decision to not loc-tite them in, as I playedwith mine several timesswitching them in and out until I agreed on asetting. THEN I could simplyglue them inafter I decided which ones I wanted long-term.
