I sent a E-mail question to Bowtech, asking how tight are the pivoting limb pocket bolts suppose to be. They replied the very next day. How many companies you e-mail with questions reply back that quick!! Anyways they wrote the bolts are only to be snug tightened, as too tight could crack the arm pockets.
I double checked mine again, and thats about where mine are set, maybe just a little more than snug. But they were definitly only finger tight when I rec'd it, and it only had maybe 6 shots on it.
I also stopped by my main archery shop to have him go over a used bow I picked up for my son. This shop sells Parker, Darton, and Whisper Creek. 1 of the new Parker's he sold only a few days before came back in pieces. It blew up. So now you Bowtech bashers, can go after Parker now!!!
