Stop stuff from rattling...

On both of my bows i've had a problem with the sight block screws coming loose. Easy fix if you don't have/like loctite - use rubber sheets (Bike tyre or sacrifice an arrow puller). Put between riser and block with the screw going through it. Tighten. Should hold it. Works on clickers too.

And to stop screws rattling loose, if you don't have loctite or similar handy, simply cover the threads in string wax... works nicely.

A turn or two of PTFE tape (plumbers type tape) will help rattly threads.

If you really don't want it to move superglue will work.

There are several strengths of thread lock available from loctite, don't get the strong ones, you'll never get any screws out again!

or (counterintuitive, I know), a dab of petroleum jelly on the thread. I think this works by reducing the friction a little, so you can tighten things up just a little bit more...

I can vouch for string wax as I use it on my ACE points. Never had one come lose since I put them on.

A wee bit of hotmelt works aswell. I found this out in the middle of a shoot last week after my sight almost fell off!

Set up the bow then add the dampers. One on my sight works a treat no noise and less vibratin . The sight clamp is a struggle to undo after a long shoot. So that is not going to get loose.
