Default 80s model Martin TD, "superstrings" & carbon arrows?

Welp I've had the ol deathstick sittin in the rack since the last season I used her (1992, took a P&Y in southern MO with it, hung it up afterwards. Not as much practice time as I wanted to have back then.) Lastnight I drug her down out of the horseshoe rack, strung her and giver a yank or two. My wife bought it for me from a mutual taxidermist friend back in our college days in the early 90s, it's a Martin TD recurve, 62" 60#. Last time I used it I flung some big ol aluminum XX75s with Zwickeys on it. Now I'm wanting to spend some time with it between now and next fall in preparation for a hunt or two in my swamp.

Being it's closer to 30yrs old than 20yrs old, I fear putting any of the modern "super strings" on it. Should I?

Assuming I stick with a dacron string, is there a carbon arrow that I can safely use?
