I would have your dealer do it for you that way you dont void your warranty. I know it's easy to fix, but I have seem many people cross thread taped holes before. My .02
Ditto! But not because of warranty issues.For one thing, I paid for a fully functional bow. I do not expect to have to come back and rework screw holes. The consumer is the final quality control inspector. I'd stamp this one REJECT.
While I know what you are saying very few companies check the threads out and run a tap through them prior to shipping. I figured this out a long time ago, as I'm sure you did, and got myself a full set of taps for all the holes. One of the very first things I do when I unbox a bow is run a finishing tap through every hole just to clean them out.

It isn't hard and frankly, it's hard to screw anything up. And as for voiding the warranty? If a person is that inept then he should probably be shooting something without wheels.

On another note. A good shop should probably do this before letting the bow leave the shop, whether they install the accessories or not. Just another example of good customer service.
