Meetups
What Are They
Whip meetups are simply chances for whip crackers and makers to get together and learn from each other. Most are completely free and organized by an individual that is simply trying to grow the whip cracking community in their area. In many cases this can be an excellent chance to try whip cracking for the first time, as well as a chance to try different styles of whips from different makers.
Etiquette
Most people at meetups are more that willing to talk, teach, and share. But keep in mind, some whips can be very expensive or perhaps old and fragile, so you should always ask before handling someone else's whip.
How to Find a Meetup
Right now (2022) the most active whip cracking community online seems to be on Facebook. There are several Facebook groups where meetup organizers will announce their events. Join "Whip Cracking Enthusiasts", "The Whip-Cracking Community", and "Bullwhip Tricks" to keep up to date on events.
