Mel, here are a few sites with plans.  I have a paper set of plans somewhere that is made from timbers and is similar to Mike Yancey's (Pine Hollow Longbows and a sponsor here) and if I can find them I will scan them, and then send you a copy.  These plans are on the internet somewhere but I have been unable to find them recently.  The timber one is not very portable but is a lot more stable then the ones on these sites.
