About a week after I got my Micro 355, the scope base screws came loose, making me think the scope had crapped itself. I put some blue thread lock on them and tightened them down, then I checked everything on the bow! Good to go!
Still lovin' my EXCALIBUR MICRO 355! :-)

Check the 380 very frequently, and all is Good. :D

As for me, wel...l some of The Ladz might suggest I need a little locktite myself... :lol:

3 weeks ago I noticed the stock was loose on my ibex smf so I took it all apart to check all fasteners, turns out it was only the 2 screws holding the stock on that were loose. I will now be doing this check at least once a year

You look at the excal scope base screws at camp and all are stripped on outside because they put Loc-tite on screws ..Mine too now mine are made for flat head screw driver..lol..

excal needs to change those screw heads they strip to easy ...
