TerryM,, glad to hear that BowTech is taking good care of you.

Good luck bear hunting;)

Thanks for the heads up.:)

Errg, another reminder that I still need to loctite my screws[8D], maybe today.
One question- who was the genius at loctite that put the blue- 242 in a red container? at least my last 2 bottles are any ways.

LOL

It's pretty obvious to me that the screw came loose while HE was shooting and HE could have and should have checked everything over if HE heard something vibrate. If HE didn't hear anything vibrate at the end of the shooting session, HE should have checked his bow over before the next shooting session..Icheck all my equipment over before shooting and keep a watch on all parts while shooting. I also don't have problems that make me wait for new parts to come from the manufacture, while I let everyone know that my BOW has problems[&:]

Again, I'm glad to hear that BowTech stepped up to the plate and shouldered the responsibility of fixing something that probably shouldn't have been covered under warranty. This makes me feel good to know that IF I should ever have a legitimate warranty concern, BowTech will be there to help out and get me shooting again.;)

Things happen, Walks...

I'm sure he feels bad enough over his situation, and I'm sure he learned a lesson -- as a bunch of people on this thread apparently have. No need to grind salt into his wounds.

Exactly.

My point exactly and maybe pointing this out will save both parties involved some money in the future;)

Dave C !

I agree someone sure wasn't thinking when they developed the blue loc-tite ,I was thinking the very same thing yesterday when I loaned my red bottle of blueLoc-tite to a friend . A real genious he was .

I agree Terry has been ridiculed enough over a mistake of this nature and I'm sure alot of us other's have made the very same mistake ,whether we want to admit it or not .I've already fessed up that I've made the same mistake ,but I was lucky and caught it before I shot my bow.I'm positive alot of us guy's on this forum don't check our equipment regular enough ,so we should consider ourselve's very lucky.

Remember guy's the blue loc-tite come's in a red bottle with a blue dot on it LOL.

i'd like to know just what loc-tite is and why it tastes like sugar.

RE: AAHHHHHHhhhh my bow's buggered up!!!!!!!
 

Somewhere along the way I remember installing small screws with a "loc-tite" type swath or drop placed along one side of the threads to act as a locking agent once the bolt was in place. It was on one side of the threads and dried in place from the factory.

Seems like Bowtech could use something like that on it's module bolts.
Sure it doesn't work on multiple bolt on & off cycles, but mod bolts are taken on & off what?-3 or4 times at the most during the set up process?
Once to adjust draw length, once or twice to switch between smooth & fast mods. That should do it for a while.

They could still leave the "you better loc-tite them" rule in place, but the dab from the factory could act as a little insurance for those who neglect to do so.
