Re: Henry display and property discussion page

just got my Henry today by way of Dixon. Great hat, though I am more of a whip guy so took me a minute to figure out the Raider turn.. Thought it was off center, duh. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jayw13th/IMG_20130426_201211_zpse41d89f2.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jayw13th/I...

Re: Nylon vs. Leather

I own 2 nylon, 5 cow hide and 3 roo. First whip I got was a 12 foot Mexico cow whip and made me almost give up the interest. It was horrible quality. Thankfully I happened on a horse and rider shop and they had a 9 foot nylon that they were more then happy to let me test. It is a great whip and I lo...

Re: what's in the box?

They really do have a great smell. I keep my whips next to the bed and the first night I got it I could smell it all night. It was wonderfull. Only had mine a little over a week but been trying to crack it for at least 20 minutes a day. Gotta build up the muscles before I can go any longer.

Re: what's in the box?

Beautiful whip. i should have gotten the j series. i am loving my Jacka, it handles amazingly once you get used to the added weight and length. And cracks like a canon with little effort.

Re: Why did it have to snow today????????

It Definately wears me out. I usually swap my whips when I practice and it is up there with the Strain. When I first got the Strain I thought it had a 5 pound weight in the handle. And now it other whips are light in comparison.

Re: David Morgan No Longer Braiding, so?

I am loving my Morgan whip. I did not have much corespondence mainly because I was satisfied with the legacy and knowledge behind the company. I had faith I would receive the best product for my money. I am just as proud no matter who's hands plaited it.

I got Whip basics couple months ago and it has been the greatest. I have not seen many others so hard to say who's the best. But they made a noticeble difference to me.

Re: Strange Looks!

It took a while for me to get up enough nerve to crack my whips in public. I am lucky that at my work I have place to crack indoors. But when I finally did go outside it got attention. Never in a bad way l, I have never had complaints yet. I try never to power my throws, looking more for a pop then ...

Re: Why did it have to snow today????????

I usually carry my whips in a back pack. I think I need a duffle bag of maybe a sleeping bag for this whip.
I think my next major purchase might have to be one of Robby's WBSR bags

I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my 8' 8 plait Indy whip. I felt bad ordering it so close to the holidays but Gus wrote me and let me know it would just be the regular 4 week wait. I am one week down and three to go. I don't mind waiting, just shows how popular his work is right now.

I've been reading posts here for awhile and finally decided i would say hi. I have been fascinated with whips for awhile now and about a year ago bought a cheap 12' drover from my local horse supply shop.
