Used to do it alot as a kid in the lower valley where i was raised. Just picked up this recurve and put a cheap reel on it and took it out today for the first time carp shooting in at least 13 years. Had a blast for the short time i went. Missed at least half a dozen carp. They seem to be alot deeper around here than where i shot them as a kid. Most likely going again tomorrow then headed to potholes next weekend to try my luck there.
