Bow Bolt

[LongStick64]

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

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.

I have and have had several bowbolts, no gap on any of them.

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

I have one that I could get a sheet of paper between but not a credit card.

I make antler limb bolts and there is no gap.A picture would help understand what is going on.Also does the bow make any noise when shooting ?

There shouldn't be any gap but it is an easy fix when it happens call whoever  made it for you

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...

My bad, Hawkeye nailed it.
