Where'd ya get 'em? Spill!

Hey, Dan!!
Yea, Paul & I were talking one day, and he told me about this place. Glad I found it - it looks ALOT more active than our Yahoo group.
The whip in the 1st picture is a Terry Jacka - it started out as a 6', but was modified before I got it, so now it qualifies as a midget at 4'1.
The matching set of whips were designed by John Brady, and made by Russell Schulz. I was in Las Vegas a couple of days ago, and bought them directly from the Western Stage Props office. (That's why the tan falls are so black already - that came from me, Marty & Mark playing with them in the parking lot)!
Oh, you're not kidding, these 2 roll out very nicely (although I have been playing with them ALOT since I got them home). They should be very good for target work also. They are pretty light weight, which should come in very handy for the 2-handed routine. I'm glad I got them - I've gotten alot better with the Terry Jacka, but because of the modifications, it's kind of off balance and not as easy to use.
Too bad I won't see you in Texas - you didn't really get to see me do too much when we were in Ohio because of my injury, but I should be able to do more now. But that just means I'll be ready for your camera next year!!
Oh, btw, don't let Gery see you posting....he'll get on 'ya for slacking off on the DVD editing! LOL!

it's never too late for starting to love him!
