The first two bolts you pointed to are the ones that hold the draw length module in place. Those would have been moved by the shop to set it to your draw length. So definitely not a factory thing.
Any manufactured bow with interchangeable or rotating mods have the possibility for screws to loosen. Once I get my draw length dialed in I put a dot of blue Loctite on each screw. Problem solved.
The mounting block that the pic rail screws into on mine came loose the first day I started using the pic mount. If you grab my sight and wiggle it up and down the entire system moves inside the carbon. You notice anything with that or know how that insert is kept inside the carbon? Maybe glued in? I see zero lock screws anywhere
Having such problems with a bow that costs that much is NOT acceptable at all. Specially when it seems that this not a one off, but happened to multiple bows. Imagine buying that bow a short time before the season starts and having to wait for many weeks to get it back from PSE... Totally unacceptable in my opinion. I was considering to buy the Mach 34 this summer since my DL is 32, but I am for sure going to wait with that now as there might be the same issues with that. I guess I will use my older Hoyt and Bowtech bows this season as well and then I will see next summer.
I will say, the bow is a great bow to shoot! Very comfortable in hand and very forgiving.. with that being said, the bolts stripping is quite annoying. Wouldn’t have been so bad if it didn’t take so long to get the bow back. Reason it took so long is because the housing the bolts screw in to actually pulled away from the carbon of the bow.
@@tylerhilliker4184 Did you even watch the video? What was it that you didn't understand? Don't you know what it means when a bolt is stripping? Do you know what it means when the housing of the bolt got pulled out? Do you really think it is just to tighten the bolt as you say? I really hope you are only 13 and not an adult writing what you did.
Everything you described happens to pretty much every bow I've owned. Nuts and bolts loosen up over time you gotta check them regularly especially if you shoot allot and as far as the pic rail goes again those threads are aluminum on aluminum inserts and can strip out very easily if you don't have a torque wrench and tighten them to spec .you don't need to wrench them down and if they continue to loosen use blue loctite but the bow is not at fault
PSE rep for the bow shop said that they are at fault on this one. It pulled the insert from the carbon on the bow, so basically the top bolt would just spin and not get tight
Ah ha gotcha. That's different I didn't completely understand what you described. Well I'm glad that PSE did fix your issue and Im sorry it took them so long to do it . I know I'd be pretty pissed off if I was without mine for that long . Best of luck to you and I hope this is the last of your troubles with that bow 👍.
Your dog checkin your score then coming back and whispering it to you is priceless.

Correct.. the draw length was set when pulled out of the box was the only thing. They didn’t fully back out until about 20 or so shots
@@BuckeyeBuckGuy Once I set my drawlength I pop a little bit of threadlock on the bolt

Good on you for raising your concerns. I understand your frustrations with kit that should be seen and never heard from
This is a possibility in any and all bows. Bolts should be checked occasionally
With those prices and I didn’t even get a hat with my bow
Some thread locker should do the job.
I’ve had a Mach 30 and Fortis 33 since before Christmas and zero issues. My two previous bows were both Bowtech bows and had a few issues with them.
Can’t hear with that dog panting

Sounds more like the bow shop isn't properly torquing the attachments.
More like overtorquing😮
Was my thought at first until everything was pulled off and the housing itself was pulled from the carbon.

Why would you need to send it to pse? Tighten the fucking bolts pretty simple

What issue has happened to multiple bows??

Definitely not PSE issues sounds more like whoever set up the bow created these issues.

I have had zero issues with mine.
You described issues that any bow can have. Price is irrelevant, things often break and fail on the most expensive items.
Thanks for sharing
nice dog
