i just had a similar problem with an allen screw in a bear trx, but a shop replaced it and its been fine... it was actually my own fault, it must have been on really tight, and i went throgh and tightened all the allen screws and this one stripped with little effort... but now theres a new one on and im ready for the 18th

try putting a drop of BLUE Loctite on the thread that will stop it from coming loose

As Ausie say's a drop of Blue Loctite and all your proble,'s will dissappear.
I had the same problem with my Dually this spring and when I put the blue loctite on ,I haven't had to worry about it since .Did I say that Ausie Guy told me to do that. OH! guess I forgot .

The best thing about the blue locktite is that you can get the screw out again after tightening. I've had terrible luck getting screws out from draw modules on several of my bows..Hoyts and Newberrys. Once I get them loose I locktite them and all is good.

The blue Loctite is #242. I loctite mine as a matter of principle. Vibratiuon loosens things up. I'd take it to the shop anyway for a look-see.
