Default Arrows...What do I need to do?

First... I apologize for the potential lack of accurate terminology. I'm new to archery and have a steep learning curve to overcome and need lots of help. I'm shooting an American Archery Barracuda(57" 47#@28") My draw length is between 28-29". I purchased some carbon arrows from Cabelas and had them cut there. They measure 28 3/8" from the base of the nock groove to the base of the 100 grain field point. The spec on the box is 400 55/70... 4" vanes.
I was shooting today at about 15 yards and the arrows were not flying straight. Is this normal for a recurve? I see people shooting compounds and crossbows and the arrow's flight path is pretty true. What do I need to do to correct this? Add weight to the arrow? Would it help to shoot 125 gr points? Do I need to insert weight to the spine itself? If I ever get it together, I'd like to deer and turkey hunt with this bow. Any and all comments are much appreciated. Thank you.
