Daniel; good afternoon sir. Jim here in Texas, how are you doing ? What a great TARGET. I think I would pick a different color pattern. By the way, the Kit Ravenshear I purchased from you is shooting well when I do my part. Have a great day. Thanks, AJ.

  Maybe so , but the colors tell a story. The shirt isn't finished yet. I have done more work on it
and I have a lot more to do. My goal is to have a complete warrior outfit when finished from
head to toe. Including weapons. The circles colors are to me a symbol of the sun and darkness.
Thus day and night.
Good news on the rifle.

Daniel; sir, your project sounds interesting and looks  like a great start. do you have access to a book "MYSTIC WARRIOR OF THE PLAINS", by Thomas Mails ? Very difficult to find. (first additions) E-bay has some affordable choices. Extremely helpful dealing with Plains Indian color meanings. and uses. AJ.

[Daniel]

 AJ,
I have a first edition. That one and one on inter tribal societies.
I use it .

I would recommend much caution when using MYSTIC WARRIOR OF THE PLAINS as a reference.  Lots of errors.  Trust, but verify applies to this book.

 I do my research. Museum pieces etc. Mystic is a secondary resource.
