Default Advice for Bowtech shooters

AS others have mentioned, while shooting today after about 100 shots, I noticed the bow was making a strange noise. Sure enough, after looking it over, both my module screws had begun backing out. I guess I need ti get some lock tite tomorrow. I'd advise you guys to check yours.

Thanks for the advice, after it's dialed in I locktite everything.
If the draw lengths correct I'll locktight the draw module right away.

Yes they tightened mine yesterday.This must be a common thing ,I'll keep an eye on them now that I know .I had one fall out of my Golden Eagle 2 year's ago while out turkey hunting.

I believe this happend to MrFritz44 as well. I have not yet have it happen on either of my bows but do keep a diligent eye towards it.

Yes it did - at a 3-D shoot. I'll be changing that module this week (hopefully) and I'll be thread locking the screws thoroughly.

I wonder if, given Bowtech's proactive customer service, we'll see thread locked mods from the factory next year?

Hopefully we'll see it before then. This could be a serious problem for someone who is not as meticulous about their equipment as we are. I'm not sure even the dealers know about this problem. There is definitely potential there for someone to get hurt.
