HELP! I was starting to draw my new Bowtech General when this small bolt fell from my bow. I think it came from the vicinity of my top cam but I'm not sure. Below is the picture of the bolt. I could only find two places that it fits on my bow. The first is on the top cam but if I screw it in there then I can't come to full draw. The other place is on the short-stop string suppressor. Here are some pics.

Here is the actual bolt. The picture above is one of the places that the bolt fits.

And here is my top cam. The bolt fits into the middle hole on the module but like I said, if I screw it in there then the bow does not go to full draw because the bolt hits the limb during the cycle. I don't want to shoot the bow not knowing where this thing came out of.

It looks like a mod screw. It will come in from the back side of where your pic was taken. Look at both ends it should not be hard to tell if one is missing. Use a little Blue Loctite when you reinstall.

My General does have 3 mod screws on each mod. The head will be on the opposite side from where your pic was taken. Need anymore help send me another PM.

Ditto. The screws fits in the middle hole of the module but it needs to go in from the other side through the cam and into the mod.

I would also be a very good idea to remove each module screw one at a time andcote each of the 6 module screws with either loctite or finger nail polish and then reinstall. For some reason they seem to be prone to working their way out if not "glued" into place.

Thank you both! Do I need a bow press to move the cable that is in the way?

I've changed the modules on a couple of Generals without a press. So you shouldn't need one.

Squeeze the string and cable together close to the camand the cable will move far enough out of the way to get the screw back in there.

I have a General and that certainly looks like a screw/bolt for the module. Mine are CONSTANTLY backing out and I have to tighten them weekly. I've looked for my loctite and just can't find it. Until I get some more, I'll continue the regular maintenance.

Here's a tip. If you bump your limbs with the palm of your hand you can hear the module rattle if it's the slightest bit loose. Good indicator of when to tighten them.
