Yeah - that Loctite is some good stuff. I once fixed a bow with it. It's a miracle my hand isn't still glued to the bow...

Well it held together after about 50 shots, so far so good. It even stayed sighted in

I’ll definitely keep the loctite 420 in mind if it doesn’t stay stuck down. I can probably get some through the place I order shop supplies

There's probably not much flex in that area, is there?

No noticeable flex. It’s right above the grip. I bought the bow used, but I’ve had it for years. Not sure why it started to come apart there.

It's been a hot, humid summer. Look what happened to Carpy's bow...

If you can't find any locally Amazon has it. It's amazing how far it will wick into little cracks

Glad it worked. What’s that on the side? Trying to read it?
