Jr. Explorer Mini-Bullwhip in Acid Dark Brown, 4-ft long
Jr. Explorer Miniature Paracord Bullwhip!
The whips in the movies were made by David Morgan and instantly became a staple of Indy's adventures. Probably one of the most influential parts of the movies, these whips have inspired many a young person to pick up a rope, or some such, and pretend to be Dr. Jones. I mean, who hasn't swung from a rope hanging in a tree as a kid and didn't pretend to be swinging across a chasm?
The Jr. Explorer line is made for the young Indy fan! Inspired by David Morgan’s design, but built for a person of smaller stature.
The Jr. Explorer line come in sizes that start at 3’ (~0.9 m) long (which is 1/2 scale to the 6 foot long 2-belly paracord bullwhip), and go up to 5’ (~1.5 m) long. They are made with a single belly, which keep them light weight and allows them to be faster acting.
They are great for youngsters who want to Cosplay alongside an adult Indy at a reasonable cost. They also make great Halloween costume accessories. Or just as a present for any young Indy fan who wants to have a whip similar to Indy's.
Being short, single belly bullwhips, they are great for use in tight areas (like a garage or small yard).
These mini-bullwhips make a great unique costume accessory. They can also be used by Cosplayers for a fun addition to many outfits. Or simply as a one-of-a-kind addition to anybody's whip collection.

As with all my whips, it comes with three (3) extra crackers. The cracker is the part that actually breaks the sound barrier and makes a whip pop, or crack. So it will wear out over time and need to be replaced on occasion.
A word of WARNING: This is a REAL whip and can hurt you or someone nearby if not used with caution. ALWAYS use proper eye protection when using this whip. DON’T let young children play with this whip without proper adult supervision. Whips in general are NOT recommended for indoor use, but my small whips (micro-snake whips and mini-bullwhips) could be used in a garage, or other small environment as long as precautions are taken to prevent damage to nearby objects. When using it, make sure you have plenty of room around you, the whip could accidentally wrap or impact nearby objects and/or people which could cause harm or make them fall and/or otherwise get broken.
