Looking to set up bow for carp

[cherokee]

It's just about time to start thinking about bowfishing.

I have an old compound and also an old 45 pound recurve. I'm thinking it may be better to set up the recurve for shooting carp. Any good accesories for a recurve?

Haven't done this in almost 20 years so looking for some advice on set ups.

Finding carp is not a problem.

Whatever you do, stay away from the spool type setup. I would only recommend the reel (I think 90% of them out there are made by AMS).

I had my arrow come back at me one too many times when I was using the spool; it is just scary!

Also stay away from the cable slide arrows, I had one of those cables break as well, and I still have that scar on my hand! Get the white arrows with the black plastic slides on them, again I believe they are made by AMS.

Thanks for the tips. Anyone have photos of their setup.

I use a compound a buddy of mine used a recurve, its a feel thing after awhile. the recurve is also alot lighter to hold all day i really like the blue muzzy predetor arrows with a slide, no fiberglass slivers.

1448 with a 11hp go-devil. I have added 4 more lights to the rear of the boat. Use a 7000W briggs generator. Night shooting is the way to go.
