Sharpening Question

Relative newby here... and a complete rookie at sharpening.  I need an approx 175grain head (screw-in) for turkeys.  I really like the idea of the simmons shark, but I worried that the concave edge on it is going to be difficult for me to learn on for sharpening... I was then thinking that the woodsman elite wouldn't be bad, but I'd like to shoot the same head for turkeys and deer, and want to stick with a 2 blade for deer for penetration purposes.

So the main question is this - would it be a mistake to go with the Simmons while learning how to sharpen?  Secondary question - what would be a good 175 grain screw in 2 blade to use and learn on?

thanks in advance!

I don't think the simmons would be a mistake. I have had great luck with a rada sharpener on most types of 2 blade heads. Another good choice would be a zwickey delta. Both great heads.
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

In my penetration test the woodsman elite did as well as magnus stingers Im shure you would do well with any choice. I use woodsman elites for everything and have had good luck with them but they are not as easy as a 2-blade to sharpen IMO. Widow

thanks gentlemen.  Would the KME jig work with the Simmons Shark?  (165 grain)
