That sucks. What an ordeal.[][X(]

It brings up some very good points though.

1) Make sure EVERY screw on your bow is tight. (and yes, even some dealers are not aware of the set screw under the larger screw at the cable guard rod). That would be the second thing I would have checked after the module screws. I don' tt how many times guys have come in freaking out about noise and it was one small screw causing all the commotion (yep, sometimes you see some pieces of alum/shavings too in various places)

2) Learn how to perform basic maintenance yourself (or all of it). Pro shops are great, but they should defintely be checking the basics. That basics can save you some money, time and headaches.

Another note: The Patriot has a VERY short slide travel. You are better off using a drop away that hooks to the cable directly or an inertia style. They can be real finnicky w/ the slide types.

Let us know how things turn out after you shoot it.
