Oh man, I was obsessed with it in jr. high.
I used to walk out to the sandpits on the edge of town. They got smart too. By july they wouldn't come with 2 arrow shots of the bank anymore.
One day there was one of the highshool kids fishing there. A bass had broke him off, and was still swimming around with his lure. I walked over and looked. It was one of those wolf packs of pound, and half bass. About a dozen of them cruising up, and down in, and out. I saw the one with his lure, and plunked it. Walked over and gave him his lure back.
He got all pissy, threatened to call the game warden on me.
No good deed goes unpunished.

We got a couple good carp reservoirs in the area.
I don’t have a fishing rig anymore. Maybe I should start looking for an old low weight Oneida.

Outlaw, you gotta tell us how you make those carp edible. Unless I missed it

The original Onida was the last mechanical bow I had before falling in the recurve, and longbow rabbit hole.
I don't know what happened to it, or where it went.

I had one years ago in a hard to find 40lb draw weight. Like yours I don’t know what happened to it. A 35-40lb stick bow is about perfect. I’d shoot my old Herters but I’m afraid the one limb has warped beyond repair.

There was a take down recurve made back in the 80's/90's .
I think mine says hoyt, but I've seen them with other companies labels on them too.
I think they probably were some Chinese bow sold by the container full to which ever company wanted them.
Anyway I bought one used in 86. It's been my Carp bow since 95. That cheap pos has killed more tons of Wildlife, than all my firearms combined.
And you guys have laughed at me before, but if you get the chance to eat a bighead, or silver Carp, try it. They are good.

We used to go snag a bunch of white sucker in the spring when they were running. We’d get some pretty good sized ones too.
Anyway, we had an Indian gal that would smoke them for us, she’d keep half as payment.
They were pretty damn good.
Get a keg of beer (and some Zima for the girls) and have a big sucker party.
