Hi,

I just recently developed a fascination for whips, having remembered a bullwhip my grandfather had. I ordered a 6' black 12 plait bull from Gus Caicedo and have found it to crack very easily and accurately. I could crack it from the start and after just a few tries could hit dandelion heads and individual leaves. I crack for a while each day, using bath hands, and my accuracy is improving very quickly.

I just lost a bidding war with Boggstandard over a Bernardo roo whip on the auction site, and so have consoled myself with a Terry Jacka whip from Western Stage Props.

I'm 49, a family practice doc; I just thought I'd introduce myself before I go back into lurk mode. I'll try to post pics of my two whips soon, when the Jacka comes in.

Regards
Ed

Hello episaacs,

The Jacka whip will be a very nice consolation for you, he does very nice work.

Welcome to the forum.

Hello Ed, Welcome to Indy Gear and Club Obi Wan. You have my sympathies, I’ve lost a few of those auctions to Bogstandard myself, but alls fair in love and ebay

. Congratulations on ordering yourself one of Terrys whips, that’s a great consolation and you won’t be disappointed. I use several of them and they are amongst my favs, Great whips. Look forward to seeing pics.

Regards.

Dan

Terry's whips are great; you won't be sorry. They are especially good for target work. Enjoy!

That was the whip auction to which I was referring. Bogstandard bid above my limit, though I see that he also lost out to a sniper.

The secret is to resist the urge to make a sandwich until the auction is over.
One thing for sure, there will be other opportunities to diminish my whip fund.
