It's just that one possible explanation is that the limb bolt was wound out too far, and didn't have enough threads to pull on. Your picture only shows ~6 turns of thread which have sheared off and on my SF riser the limb bolt maximum wound-outness has the entire thread of the bolt is still in the thread of the riser.

I was on max poundage with the 28lb limbs and was thinking of going up to 30 or 32 in the near future so the adjustment on the upper limb was all the way in and then the lower limb adjusted slightly out to get the correct tiller
If you look at the pic we think it shows that the adjuster had vibrated loose and damaged all of the turns of thread, as the adjuster vibrated and loosened it was being pulled at an angle and this is seen in the last few very badly damaged threads (the looser it gets the more thread damage you get)
The guys at quiks reckon that the last 6 or 8 turns should be enough to hold the limbs if the poundage was on min adjustment anyway but in this case the locking screws must have been loose and I didn't notice
They also reckon that all this can happen in 1 shooting session and if not checked every time you shoot they can become loose very quickley
That's why I went for a Hoyt this time with a better locking system
the people at quicks were more than happy that it was a case of vibrating loose in a short space of time
