Hey guys, would a 150gr head work on a 18" BEE setup like this for a 355? Or should I stay with a 100gr. I recently got some Black Eagles but not had a chance to shoot them yet. Just wondering 440grs is just too heavy?

Sure it'll work , but the 100gr will work also . Most prefer to stay between 375gr and 400gr . Just don't go less than 350gr. Heavier arrow combo are quieter and should be easier on the Xbow.

That will work just fine as 8pt. said, you're driving a Cadillac is all, it will plow right on thru, and help the bow be more quiet.
