Default Alpha Shox problem

I recently switched from ultra limbsavers to alpha shox for various reasons. My limbsavers kept tearing, and, I just wanted to try them. Wow, are they quieter. I do have a problem however. After 5-10 shots, they start dislodging themselves from my limbs, and I have to re-install them. Is this normal, or have I done something wrong?

without seeing how you put them in and I don't know much about them but I do know that what your saying doesn't happen to a few friends of mine who shoot reflex and hoyt bows with alpha shocks. take it to the pro shop and see if they can tell whats wrong. soory I couldn't be more help.

I have them and have no problem with them moving or dislodging. In fact I can hardly get them in and out they are so tight.

It might help to know what kind of bow you have them installed on. If the gap between the limbs is larger than what they were designed for (Hoyts).. then that may be the cause of your issue.

My upper one creeps up after time but they don't fall out. I haven't heard of them making different sizes but maybe they do, The one's I'm familiar with are for 3/4 split limbs.

yes, they were designed specifically for hoyt and reflex...not meant for other split limbers.

I've never had that problem. In fact, just the opposite. Mine were positioned further away from the cams than recommended. It was a lot of work just to move them up the limbs to the proper position.

Thanks guys. Yeah, they're on a Hoyt bow, so I will take it to the shop and see what's up.
