Bullwhip FAQ - The Quick Sixer

Do not attempt to crack a whip until you have read the Safety Instructions

Matt:

Purpose: For the stubborn beast who wanted to argue rather than get a move on. The idea is to rally off six sequential cracks very quickly in succession about a foot from the beasts hide starting at the rear and ending up with the final crack near the ear.

Method: This a very simple overhead twirling method where for the right handed you start rotating the whip above your head in a anti clockwise [viewed from above] direction (clockwise for lefties) and when the whip is at about 190 - 200 degrees from the target you throw out to the right side and open the wrist up to the right pointing the palm of your hand to the sky, (this twisting of the wrist allows for a slight change in direction of the whip to cause a ripple effect that carries to the tip causing the crack) the whip should crack at about the one o'clock position. The next four cracks are a repeat of the first, each one going faster than the one before, the final crack is a hard hammer throw in the direction of the beasts ear and is meant to be as loud as you can throw it. The skill in this one is to keep the timing up as you increase the speed, you should be able to rally this as fast and about as loud as a .22 repeater rifle.

Result : You don't have to do it twice !!
