    Limb savers usually eliminate the need for loctite.

    Blue loctite is removable, red is FOREVER, unless you use a torch

    If you have enough room try a longer screw with lock washer and two nuts.

    Blue (#242) Loctite will help, but I'd lookto eliminatethe underlying problem called excess vibration. Limb savers,a good stabilizer, Leeches or other string silencer. Maybe a heavier arrow depending on what you are now shooting.
