Never heard of vibration tightening up bolts.

When my exomag was fairly new, I did a full disassembly.
Putting ferous metal bolts into aluminum rail or riser will eventually lead to bi-metal corrossion.

I used the blue thread lock on the smaller hardware and antiseize on limb bolts and larger hardware.

I hunt in a lot of wet and cold conditions so I'm not taking a chance. So far all is good 4 years later.

i would not worry about lock tight i think you will find when you screw a steel bolt into aluminum it will get a reaction and i would worry more about it seizing the bolt into the alum before i would worry about it coming loose .my sons bow has the s5 with a munchmount on top no locktight and have had no problem with it also have the same with an older sts system on the daughters vixen

If you notice them loosening a spot of blue Loctite should do the trick but I've been shooting mine for months without them coming loose so you should be okay too. :)
