Hi, happy to help! ;D
The one thing that i did change was how long the seat is..... As i have made English longbows,which for the most part longer than the American sort. I made it long enough for the grip to hold the handle of the bow and i could work the limb still sitting down. Also you may want to make it with three or four legs,three if you're going to use it out in the woods,four if you're at home on flat ground........Hope that helps???
