You can see the bow on this page.  Most seem to be getting away from pure reflex bows and going to deflex handles but I still prefer this style.

  The design is pretty self explanatory from the pictures.

Just saw this.

If I were to make another I would actually change things a bit, like the size of the recurves for one.  I've come to prefer smaller bends and they perform just as well if not better
