No issues- this system works great!  Big Jim and Cari-bow use it also.  Rock solid!  The only benefit that a Bow-bolt has vs this system is the extra weight.

I didn't love it as I was never 100% sure I was fully seated with the one I had.  Prefer the bow bolt.

Have 3 bows with this system.  I think it's the best take down method there is.

Got a Big Jim thunderchild with this system and I really like it. Very convenient as a quick no-tool takedown system. Bow-bolt is good to, especially with the extra weight it adds if you like extra mass in your riser.

On my Big Jim Thunderchild no issues have arised,the only think you have to do is to lubrificate with Vaseline if it is too tight or use wax if it is too loose.

Hello:
I have the "locket-socket" design on both Black Widow and A&H Archery bows.  No problems, ever.  The design is as strong as a single piece bow.  Black Widow has an instructional DVD showing Ken Beck testing the joint's strength in a Hydraulic press.  The force needed to break the two-piece joint was the same as for its one-piece riser.  
Regards,
Kevin

I think the general consensus as I have seen it debated over the years is that a one piece bow should remain a one piece bow.  Two piece bows are conceived and designed as such from the beginning.  However there is a retrofit kit available from, I believe Fisk Archery.

We sell the kits and I have instructions on our website or youtube to do it yourself. if you can build a bow, you can install this TD system.

I wish I could say that I invented this system but of course I did not.
I will say that if there was a better TD system out there, I'd be using it.

Many many hundred out there and counting with 0 failures.
Thanks, bigjim
