Is it very common for hoyt modules to come loose--a lot?

Because ive been shooting mine for about a week with the bottom one being loose, no damage that i can see, but its the one design flaw ive noticed with this bow, those screws back out way too often. This ever happen on other bows?

Yes. I had it happen -- and not only with module screws.

Put a little (BLUE, not RED) Loc-Tite on a Q-Tip and rub just a little on a few threads. That will secure the screw against vibrating loose but you will still be able to remove it.

alrighty, will do, thanks.

This has happened to me but I put a hint of hot melt on the screw and it has stayed in place.

string wax on the threads works also.

Dont do like me and strip the threads out of the cam or it will have to be replaced.

 

[mbuemi]

well the screws themselves are actually already half stripped.

I found the screw had a piece of the thread wrapped around it under the head where you couldnt see it. I only found it with my glasses on!!! I have the same old screw but new cam provided by Hoyt. No looseness so far with the new cam.

A small dab of Blue loc-tite should do the trick

ive used loc tite, but i hate getting glue all over the cams. Just something about gluing up polished silver cams and parts that bothers me

No need to make a mess. Just a slight touch of the Loc-Tite on a few of the forward screw threads will do the trick. You don't want to lock the screws in place but just set them enough to resist vibration.

Use a Q-tip to apply it.
