Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Awrighty... here in a couple weeks I... um, I mean Pecos Bill... has gotta make an appearance at a Cub Scout event. Now, does anyone know of any on-line site where a body could get some quick instruction in rudimentary rope spinning...? Other suggestions to amuse and amaze the li'l tykes would be appreciated, too. And no guns... holsters will be stuffed with bananas. Darned non-believers! Can ya imagine some li'l 8-year old claiming ol' Bill never existed??

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Howdy, I attended a seminar with Kowboy Kal at the SASS Convention a couple of years ago. Had a great time and it only took a couple of weeks for the rope burns to heal. http://www.kowboykal.com/ I believe he sells an instructional DVD that might work since you have a few weeks. There are also a few videos on line, just do a search. Biggest thing I remember is to get the right kind of rope and have it be the right length. I don't remember the details unfortunately. I do recall that you need to constantly be rotating the rope in your "Off Hand" to keep the tail of the rope from knotting up. If the rope is too stiff, it will not give you any margin for error and if it is too long, you can create granny knot of epic proportions! Good Luck, Dogmeat Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I never was much good with a rope. Came close to lynching myself a few times. Good luck, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
