[#505000]I'm not much of a bow expert. I just purchased mine from a local pawn shop for $40. I have a jacked up right shoulder so I can't pull much weight on it without it killing me and then feeling it for a few days. The bow I get we let off as much as we could. Hutning carp we didn't even use full draw on them. I guess there really is no difference on recurve or compund for hunting carp as long as you can get enough pull to launch an arrow.[/#505000]

[#505000]As far as arrows go I would recommend aluminum since they float. We also just used field tips on them. I would hate to lose, then step on a broadhead in my neoperene wading shoes. When we carp hunt a long shot is anything over 10 feet and will likely lose you an arrow. I would say %98 of our shots were closer than 10 feet. We fished for 2 hours with 6 arrows apiece and I think we only lost 1. Also the arrows we used were junky, some missing fletchings ect... most shots will be so close it won't matter.[/#505000]
