Just to clarify:
there's two points of reference on Hoyt fitting limbs. One is the groove at the very base of the limb, which slots onto a post (which is generally the piece wound in or out for weight adjustment). This is more or less loose fitting. I don't mean it should rattle around, but it shouldn't hold the limb either.
The second point is the dovetail bolt, a few inches up on the back of the limb. This slides into a recess on the riser. On the end of this bolt is a small spring loaded detent (knob sticking out). This should engage in a depression inside the riser when the limbs are fitted and prevent them from falling out when you pick the bow up. It should be stiff enough that the limbs don't just fall out on their own, but not so tight that you find it difficult to remove the limbs.
When the bow is strung, the disk on the adjustment post holds the limb in that direction, the post itself and the dovetail groove stop sideways movement of the limb. That should be all that's necessary, so long as any adjustment mechanism is locked down.
Note that it's not unknown to find a limb where the detent (for whatever reason) won't hold in a particular riser, or has a spring so weak it won't hold in any riser... This
shouldn't affect the bow during shooting, but may make unstringing it... interesting.
