I use broadheads off and on all year to double check the tuning on my setup.  They won't hit the same as field points if something has stretched or moved.  The last two weeks, though, I've been shooting 3 broadheads and 3 field points getting myself primed for September.

If you haven't started yet then start now!  If you want to shoot both field points and broadheads at the same time, shoot your broadheads first and your field points second.  Much less damage to your vanes and shafts this way.  Also shoot multiple spots at each target.  I stopped shooting two broadheads at the same spot awhile ago; to expensive if you don't.

I haven't figured out how to get the second one screwed on, so I have been shooting just one at a time.  Maybe I'm behind the times a bit.  Just kidding!
