Finally pulled the trigger on my first "real" bullwhips!

Post by Gunslinger Rex »

A little spring cleaning in the gun safe meant enough play money to purchase my first "real" bullwhips. I ordered an 8' black and brown roo hide Victor Tella bullwhip and a 10' Dusty Damrel Streets of Cairo. Now the waiting game begins... =P~

Yeah. Dusty said delivery for me would be sometime in August. My Tella should be here in about a month since I paid the extra $50 rush charge.

Yup. More power to him, I hope he's making a lot of sales. He makes great looking whips at affordable prices.

It will be interesting though, to see how cowhide with stainless steel cable core feels compared to the traditional all roo Victor Tella whip.

Get on that order now. If lead times are already to August you wait another month and might miss it.

I have one of Dusty's whips in 7' and though I'm far from a Whip Master I like the handling compared to other whips I've tried.
