This inexpensive Bull Whip is a great starting point for those looking to learn whip cracking on a budget. This 6' Bull Whip is made from 12 plaits of Cowhide Leather. The bull whip is the classic American Western whip, with the body of the whip (the thong)connected directly to the handle. We recommend the 6' whips for beginners as they are a little easier to handle than the 8's. N.B This not a toy! These are real Whips and can cause serious injuries. Please use appropriate eye protection for training and use only in a safe open space, well away from other people.
