Safe to Tighten these Hex Nuts?

[heavuser]

Will it throw off my tuned bow by tightening the hex screws that hold the cam to the limb? There is one screw on either side of the limb.

Shouldnt ever need to..just mark with silver sharpie a line across for reference if you fear they will loosen after your last experience.

What if they aren't tight? Then he needs to snug then up than mark like ya said.

Decided to go over the bow to verify all the screws were tightened. These were the only ones thay were that were slightly loose.

So tightening them isn't going to throw off anything, right?

Just dont torque them so much that they snap.   

Snug and it should be good..I have a 2011 Elite pulse and never needed to touch those screws.

They look like they may be 1/4 28’s or a metric equivalent. If there loose I would look up the torque and tighten them with a torque wrench.

I thought the same thing.   Every bow I ever owned or worked on had c clips holding the axel in place.  Frankly I hate the c clips.

Technically, they are e-clips.
