Indiana Jones Style Bull Whip Real Cow Hide Leather Equestrian Bullwhip Black 3ft, 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft Long

As a beginner , I purchased this whip based on the user comments above. This is not kangaroo hide , but cow hide , as the description honestly says . I'm no judge of bull whips . but , long story short , I was ecstatic when I produced my first whip crack with YouTube instruction . Only a few minutes later , the cracks were almost gunshot loud . Made my ears ring . I received some extra whip crackers and a whip holster , which I had to modify as it was too big for my coiled whip . Good buy . My good buy opinion still stands . A good buy for the money - $44 . That said , this whip lasted 1 1/2 months . Plait on the ball end and transition swell is tattered . The fall hitch came unraveled exposing not a leather core but 1/4 " rope , whipped with cellophane tape on the end . But it did provide a beginners whip .

Does the job

Bought as a birthday present for an 11 year old girl. Near hysteria ensued when the package was opened. Then the rifle shot sounds of the whip cracking were echoing around the house. it's fun, challenging, different from a Barbie Doll for sure, and a great present... to be used with caution... that has historical significance as well. Very well made for a modest price. Just fun to have!

Delighted with this purchase and have been practicing with it regularly. If a beginner like me, order a smaller whip to start with, as this has some weight to it and the length is a factor in cracking. Having said that it's a very well crafted whip and I'm delighted I purchased it, even if it is a challenge to learn

When it's not pushing 100 degrees in the south I go outside and work with my whip. I'm 6'2 and I thought that and 8ft whip would be good for my size. Little mistake. It is so easy to get a crack out of the whip at the correct angles, but for someone my size and just beginning. A 6foot whip probably would have done better as it wouldn't be so much to whip to get a crack out of it. The feel of the braids and the solidness of the handle makes me feel more confident with it in my hands that it won't slip out.
