Just a thought on your P.S.

: P.S. If you DO want the "natural" color, try USWings. I've heard their whips are Mark Allens, and they're even cheaper yet.

first off, USWings REALLY screwed me over just before christmas by "losing" my address, credit card...etc. (i posted about this a while ago) AND i think that some "exaggeration" is goin on at their website.

first off, it is my understanding (correct me if i'm wrong) that the Indiana Jones bullwhip is an "austrailian" style bullwhip. that's what the guy at mark allen told me (mark allen is a GREAT company, btw) and in measuring an austrailian bullwhip, you DO NOT count the fall or the popper. in AMERICAN bullwhips you DO count the fall in the length. so...when USWings says their 8 foot bullwhip is three hundred dollars, i suspect that they're selling the mark allen SIX FOOT bullwhip that IS ALWAYS three hundred dollars. if you were to include the fall and popper in the length of MA's six footer it comes REALLY close to eight feet. thought this might be good information.

also, on USWings, they claim to have lee kepler's raider's whip holder. it's "only" $14.95...but $8.00 shipping! direct from lee kepler it's (i THINK) 'bout $20.00 with $4.00 shipping. (i could be wrong on shipping)

i only post this so that people are informed as to where the real "Deals" are. in short..."deals" don't exist and the only thing that helps companies nowadays is customer service and mark allen (if you talk to them directly) is an absolutely AWESOME company. anyone ordering a bullwhip should HOPE to speak to a man named MARTY..he was VERY cool, informed and nice. thanks to mark allen for making the bullwhip purchase SO MUCH EASIER than that USWings (soon to be a COMPLETE waste of time due to flightsuits) "Hack" company.

take care,
Pete
