    Take a look at the Harvest Time Archery or Victory Archery line-ups. They both have some great arrows at very good prices. If you go with the arrows that are not the top grade as far as straightness tolerances go you can get them pretty inexpensive. With your poundage and weight you should be able to fix very nicely into a .500 spine.

    First off , length depends on your draw length and the position of your rest , there is over 1'' of front to rear adjustment on your rest , personally after i nock up an arrow and draw it back i mark the arrow at the front of my rest and add 1'' , thats my arrow length , i dont go by on-target or any of them programs to tell you that is what you need for propper arrow lengh to meet your proper spine , i'm well within specs and what shoots for me is the propper set up ..

    Your set up with a 27'' draw at 62 lbs a 400 spine is perfect.

    A perfect all around Target and Hunting arrow is 7.4 and 8.8 grains per inch gives you the best of both worlds in my honest oppinion.

    Solid advise. And there are plenty of companies out there that off a good product at a reasonable price. A Beman ICS Hunter 400 might be a good choice. I shoot those and the Carbon Express Blue Streak 250's out of my Destroyer and they both shoot like a dream. The Blue Streaks are about $35.00 more a half dozen than the ICS Hunter.

    Hope this helps...

    I shoot the beman ics hunter elite they are super straight and group well for me i think it depends on what you want out of your bow if you want more thud on impact get a heavier arrow if you want a flatter shooting arrow get a lighter arrow. there are a pile out there the straighter the arrow generally speaking the more expensive.
