I haven’t seen one of those whips personally so I can’t comment in detail. If they still get that particular model of whip from whip maker Matt Weslby then I’d imagine it’s a fair enough whip for what it is. The price seems a bit steep for a red hide whip though. In my own opinion, unless you are specifically looking for a redhide bullwhip like that, you could do better with one of the whip makers here or with Mark Allen's cowhide bullwhips for around the same price or less.

I don't know about the quality, but looking at the prices that they want for a cowhide bullwhip, I think you'd be better off buying a whip from me or Jim Markell of Whipworks.net. About the US Wings prices, I almost think they are paying the whipmaker his retail price and then putting their mark-up on top of that as they seem a little high priced.

Also, if you get a whip from me or Jim, it won't be red, and we all know Indy's whip wasn't red.
