Falls and crackers take the brunt of the wear when a whip is used, and require replacement as needed. The end of the fall wears off, shortening the fall. Depending upon use, a fall worn down to under 12 - 18 inches needs replacing. In addition, the kangaroo strands adjacent to the fall will in time break because of the sharp flexing at this point. The fall should be replaced as soon as the first strand breaks. We offer a light weight fall to suit most Australian stock whips and bullwhips, and a heavy weight to suit our own bullwhips and some other American bullwhips. These falls are cut from the very best hide we can obtain, and are well greased and stretched. Red Hide falls tend to wear down, White Hide are more prone to stretching. Fall length is about 30 inches.
