Yes you do need a different target for broadheads. There are several out there. You need to make sure you select one that'll stop your arrow. If you shoot a high speed/high kenetic energy bow you need a more dense target than if you shoot 50 pounds low K.E. Some hold up better than others. That said, NONE of the broadhead targets I've bought will hold up to a lot of shooting. I tune my bow and arrows and then my broadheads. Once they're tuned I shoot them to put the best first and in my quiver and I really don't shoot the broadheads after that. If they're flying true there's no need to beat the arrows or the heads up. Good practice and form are better than shooting a ton of broadheads once they're set. Even so, most broadhead targets are only really good for a couple years or 3. Expect to spend around $100 for a broadhead target.
