We set up older bows for shooting carp as the arrows are pretty heavy and lots of shots are kind of hard on bows. My brother has gone to the potholes the last two years and is hooked. you can get a bowfishing reel that screws into your stabalizer hole and a few fish arrows and your set. We are going in mid may hopefully when the carp spawn. Its supposed to be wild thousands of carp on top of the water. I think a tournament like they have back east would be a blast.
