Thread: Whips

I have a sweet little pair of 5 foot stockwhips made by Mike, but I prefer bullwhips. I've bought a lot of stuff off Mike over the years and he offers top notch service to the US too. His hides are cheaper than david Morgan's here in the US, or at least were cheaper a couple of years ago.

You might find that the price of leather has gone up a bit recently mate. And quite sharply too. At least that's the case with my local tannery and source of quality leather. I assume the same problems would affect all the other tanneries anyway.

I can tell you've never gotten any of the unsolicited pop ups on your computer.

Id love to see the whips you have!

Ive been thinking about getting a jacka whip, how does it compare to your other bullwhips?
I've been told that his whips feel quite different because of the stiff transition.

Here are a few of my whips first is my first whip, a 6ft bull by Gus Caicedo

next is my Terry Jacka 8 footer. Really tight whip, I haven't broken it in yet

Latigo whip by victor Sancoucis

Pair of 7.5 foot Whiman whips, aussie bulls

pair of Rawhide whips, great cracking whips

Nice supple Zorro whip I got off ebay

Pair of Mike Murphy 5 foot stockwhips

Very nice collection! I can't figure out which of the bulls I liked the best...

My favorite whip seems to be whatever one I'm cracking at the time. they're all fine pieces.

Lol but what if you're cracking two at once!!

I still haven't broken in my 12ft properly but was playing with it today and boy is it loud.

never played with a whip i have used them to get stuborn cows and pigs to move one good crack near them and they change there minds real quick , once hit a pig at my grandfathers farm with a whip after it started fightign with another pig he stopped what he was doing so they must hurt
