Phone Black Widow and ask them. To make sure you don't destroy the limbs by accident.

Ralph, my records show 4 digit s/n's prior to 6853 should use dacron string.  I have these numbers for a good while, but I think they are correct.  As suggested, check in with BW.
The 4 digit numbers were used prior to 1991.
Hope this helps.

Ralph, this is from Blackwidows website.

Q: “Can I shoot FastFLIGHT or DynaFLIGHT 97 string on my bow?”

A: If your bow was made before 1988 (serial number 6782 or lower), you should NOT use FastFlight or Dyna 97 type strings. If in doubt, please call us here to make sure.
