Anything you shoot in a vertical bow will work, however most xbows call for 125 grain BH's. Right now I am shooting G5 Montec's in mine

I agree with Iluv2hunt, I have a 185lb pull 10 point and have shot both fixed blade and mech with no complaints. Muzzy 125, G3's, Rage 2 blade 125, Rage crossbow 125, N.A.P F.O.C. 185 all seem to work well. and a couple others.

I have been shooting my Horton 150 pd 20 inch for a couple of years now and I have been shooting Muzzy MX-3s the last year. What I did find interesting was that if I shoot Horton alum bolts with 100 grain pts the broadheads shot closer to the same as my practice points. When I tried carbon shafts which weighed 24 grains less I used 125 gr practice points which hit the same as the 100 gr/ alum shaft hit but when I tried 125 gr broadheads with carbon shafts they tended to stray.
I have found the 100 grain MX-3 with the Horton alum bolts work best in my rig.
As with any bow or gun some work better for some than others. Best advice is shoot a lot comparing your broadhead to field points. Then use the one that works best for you.
