For any that own a bow with the bow bolt, do you have a gap between the 2 parts of the bow. Looking at mine I do see a visible gap and I hadn't really noticed that before.
The gap isn't large by any means, but you could easily slip a credit card between sections.
Thanks
Pete

I have a Shrew Lil Favorite with a bow bolt and it doesn't have any gap at all. I have a bow bolt Samurai on the way and I expect it to be the same.

Also no gap on my shrew. I would call the maker of the bow to see if was normal.

Make sure the male end is seated all the way to the bottom of the socket before twisting the halves to lock. I t-h-i-n-k it may be possible to be off one "tooth" in the locking mechanism, giving the result you are seeing.

Be sure, too, that there isn't any foreign object in the socket...
