Default Standard Muzzys for crossbow

Guys,
Does anyone use or shoot the standard broadhead by muzzy in their crossbow? By this I mean the muzzys that guys have been shooting in their vertical bows? It just seems to me that all they need to do is change the packaging to say "crossbow". However should I just grit my teeth and buy the "crossbow" model

Regular ol' Muzzy's will work fine. Couple guys I hunt with that use a crossbow use the 125 gr. , 3 blade.

The new bows are not much different than the crossbows now days. That is why many states are allowing crossbows right along side of bowhunters.

Been using them for years and harvested quite a few deer with them. Use the three blade, 100 gr.

I use the same 3 blade 100 gr that I use on my bow. Seems to have the same effect, death.

Really no difference between most vert/crossbow 'heads. Some mnfgrs make the latter heavier - for increased FOC that most crossbows prefer - and Rage's have a heavier band to prevent premature deployment. But mostly it's the packaging. Personally, I've found that low profile (short), four bladed fixed 'heads fly the most consistently like field points, and perform dependably, from my c/bows. e.g. Slick Trick mags.
