Rundquist & Lee,

Well, since no one else is giving any feedback I’ll throw in my opinion. My first impression of the bag is that it is not something I would purchase. With out actually seeing the bag first hand it looks to be made from a rather cheap material. (I really don’t know though so don’t flame me.) That’s not my main problem with it though. I don’t like the awkwardness of carrying the whips horizontal. There also doesn’t seem to be any smaller pockets for accessories like falls, poppers, etc. It doesn’t seem to accommodate stock whips either.

Boy this is going to sound a little wierd, but I am going to agree with you Kyle on a couple of points.

The material may be fine, some sort of nylon. To hard to really see if it is.

But the bag generally looks clumsy, by being wide enough to hold a whip, and not deep enough to carry more than a couple whips, and definitely no stock whips or long handled target whips.

I would think a modification to stand the whips up would work for Indy style bullwhips This would give a more stream lined look to the bag, and allow one to put it behind the seat or under the seat. And definately add a few storage pockets, either on the outside, or strategically placed inside.

For stock whips and long handled target whips, I like a bag that is like a tennis racquet bag, or a softball bat bag.

But with as many whips as I travel with from time to time, I use a small carry-on suitcase with wheels and the extenda handle. Then I throw my little tool boxes (tupperware boxes actually) inside with one for tools and blades, one for falls and poppers, and one for strips of leather for repair work etc.

keep 'em crackin'

I've always carried my bullwhips in my trusty Filson Rucksack- the perfect Indy adventure bag! :-D
