Default Need help with arrow weight??

I am kinda new to the bow hunting thing, well two years plus a few years in the sixties. Heres the problem I have been using XX Advantage 2514 arrows. My son bought me a dozen much thinner,forgot the #, Advantage arrows for Xmass. I traded them in a Dicks for the closest match they had. Used a chart that I didden' t fully understand. My new arrows are XX 75 Advantage 2413.
I am set at 63 lbs. Hard cam I think.

Are the arrows safe ?
Will they shoot about the same? I generally can get a group in a 6" circle at 20 yards, have a little vision problem that makes the peep blurry. Yuch
How do I cut them? Thats what started this today a blizzard comming so I was going to set up the new arrows Once I cut them there is no chance of return so I wanted some advice first.

The 2413' s will likely not shoot the same as the 2514' s. They should shoot better. The chart shows 2413' s is the proper spine arrow for your setup. The 2514' s are too stiff for it. Personally, I prefer the 2315' s in that spine range. They' re heavier, but a good bit more durable.

my question is why such a large diameter shaft? are you shooting 3d to cut lines?
or is the weight an issue the larger diameter will be stiffer and lighter, at that thou i would be looking at carbon shafts. i personly dont care for the larger dia. it makes a broad head look funny. and that thought what weight of point a hundred grain point will spine an arrow differnt then a 125....thoughts to ponder sorry for now real answers. auther p and the 2315 seems as good as shaft as any and there every where when you tend to run low...
thanks

Tobyn, The arrows are what the local bow store recommended. It a bow and arrow speciality place with a range and bow leagues. The Dicks arrows were a gift I didden' t want to go to the Bow place with.

Thanks to all for the help

SORRY IF OFFENDED AND APOLOGIZE...
if they shoot alot of legue shooting it makes sense...but as hunting shaft i believe it abit large....i shoot as of now a 2314 and belive it abit large and researching for a good carbon arrow of about the same weight and tolerance.
These forums are good things and we can express ourselves and we are all trying to better ourselves....
thanks
