Default Helical, offset, staggered???

Ok, I just don't know the difference between all of these. I know the stagger is with a different dimension from the nock to the close edge of blazer, but what's the difference between offset and helical? Any pics?

Default RE: Helical, offset, staggered???

Offset is done with a straight clamp and is glued on an angle to the shaft. Helical is basically the vane or feather being wrapped around the shaft but over the distance of the vane or feather. It's is hard to explain and I don't have very good pictures so maybe someone else does.
