I have an old Savannah longbow i have had for about 12 years now. It came with the old Martin #372 string which is still in good shape! But i would like a new one to start breakkng in as a backup. Cant find them now. I am pretry sure it is fast flight. Wondwring if anybody can confirm that as i am olanning to get d-97. Any help is great. Thanks guys!

You can use D97 or any low stretch material on a Savanna.

Once the stock strings wear out, those bows are pretty much useless and may even blow up on you…. Better send it to me for safe/proper disposal.

I’ll even spring for the shipping :D

Just be aware that if you change your string spec, you will probably have to re-tune a bit. Of course, an awful lot of people who shoot carbons are a spine class or two too heavy anyway, so this could be your chance to get everything all lined up.

And if you think you probably are too stiff, a Mercury 2 string may fix that for you… or it may cause a whole new rash of problems for you if your tune is already spot-on.

I’ve had 3 Savannahs and still have 1 . I used d97 on all of them.

Order a string from SBD strings. Tell them what nocks are on your arrows. You will never shoot that stock string again after trying a SBD string.
