On page 8 of the owners manual it says to use loc-tite on the mod screws. The reason Bowtech doesn't loc-tite the screws from the factory is that 9 times out of 10 the dealer will have to change mods for draw length like I had to.
Ding, Ding, Ding! Right here is the answer, four pages into this thread. Yes, most mod screws come loose and need to be tightened down. It says so right in the manual. So,nodog, there is an excuse, and a pretty good one. Why loc-tite something that verywell may need to be changed?
We don't loc-tite ours, and once we tighten them down, they have not come back loose.
"Why make your bed, your just going to mess it up again". Would you pay a house keeper who answered you that way.
Common knowledge people don't read instructions. Most big time ($)hunters I know can't get past the first sentence.
BT can say until their blue in the face "It isn't our fault". Wont stop the bad pr from coming.
Loktite them down and let those who do any work be responsible for the same. These are luxury items. How many luxury items do people buy that they have to take apart and tighten up before enjoying them. It's rediculous. They also must come from a "pro" shop. What kind of professional lets their work go without making it a reflection of their name. Also rediculous not to do something so simple. If it was their first time and didn't know, ok, but knowing and not doing it would have me shaking my head and never returning.
Loktite isn't permanent. Take them apart and put them back together. No big deal.
Does the bow come with a tube of loktite? A lot of things that require something do add them in their products.
Many people love Pella windows/doors. I have talked many people out of them because they ship a door and don't include a special tool in their package making me have to tell the home owner it isn't going to work right until a tec comes out. That happened only once. A $2000 door and they couldn't put in a $5 tool that isn't sold (until recently).
In my case money is not an issue, I don't mark up material. I've never had to spend a dollar on advertising. My work is my advertising.
