You are welcome. I rarely shoot anything more lethal than a BB gun.

Howdy Crazy Daisy, Western Stage Props is one place you can order spot cord trick rope. The other good place is from me. From me it is more expensive, but I can get the right length for your height and adjust the weight of the honda to suit the length of the rope and the type of tricks you are interested in. I am happy to advise you regardless of where you get the rope. Are you interested learning a few basic tricks or are you aiming at working up to some more advanced tricks as well? Are you wanting to perform for an audience or simply for your own enjoyment? Are you in the U.S. and if yes, what state?

I’m trying to do more advanced tricks. I’d love to be able to get to the texas skip. I currently can do the wedding ring and basic flat loop but I’d love to do some more complicated tricks. I’m based in NYC and looking to perform for entertainment. I’d very open to ordering from you if that’s possible

@@CrazyDaisyMara Do you already have a show? How tall are you? Do you perform the flat loop with your wedding ring rope?

I do have a show already. I do perform the flat loop with my wedding ring rope, i use the same one. I’m very beginner though. I am 5’5

Since you use the same rope, I assume that you can make your loop grow while spinning it. You have two options for the Texas Skip. You can purchase a heavy honda texas skip rope or you can put a small stopper on your wedding ring rope if it is long enough. A stopper is not what most ropers use but, if done correctly, the audience can't see it and that's what matters. Actually, no one can see it unless you give them your rope to examine. Also it makes your Wedding Ring/Flat Loop rope more versatile. If you have a full trick roping show, you might want to use more than one rope during the show. But, if you are doing some rope tricks as part of a bigger show, you might not want to take time to change ropes. My email is: rhinestoneroper@gmail.com It is much easier for me to discuss these issues if done by email.

Sure. What are you spinning?

@ Denix peacemaker 5.5 inch barrel

I agree.

I am slowly learning that lesson.

What gun are you using?

@ It’s a High Standard, Sentinel Deluxe. 9 shot 22 caliber.

Thank you too

Yes. I think that who ever created him did some homework.

Yes I can. But don't be asking about the target.

Great to hear!

Thank You.

Glad it helped! Last night I had to replace the hammer plunger in one of my New Vaqueros. I had to bring up my own video to remember how to get it back together.

Right! Maybe triple.

Yes my rope may be more flexible. It's called Cotton Spot Cord. It's 3/8 inch in diameter, made of cotton and woven braid instead of twisted. It can be ordered from me or from Western Stage Props. My rope is also painted to preserve it and give it just a little stiffness.

Good question. Eventually you want the honda to slip so you can change the size of the loop. But you can make your honda tighter so that the friction is increased. That way it doesn't slide as easily. You can also add weight to the honda or take weight off. If you find that your honda is always sliding away from your hand, the honda may be too heavy. If it is sliding towards your hand, it may be too light. You need to experiment with the weight so you can find a happy medium that works best for you, the tricks you most often use and your style of roping. If you are using a 20ft rope for all your tricks, you will realize that your handa may be perfect for your butterfly but on the light side when you increase the size of loop. You will need to adjust your speed on those bigger tricks so that the centrifugal force of the loop doesn't over power your honda and slide it up. When you are learning, you can also put a rubber band on either side of the honda or both sides to keep it from sliding. Then when you have the trick, take one or both of them off. If the honda is sliding when you don't want it to, you have to ask why. It could be your honda. It could also be that your wrist motion has a glitch. With the wedding ring, usually the honda slides away. To learn the wedding ring, I suggest that you put a rubber band on both sides of the honda so it won't slip while you are learning the trick. As you learn it, you can take the bands off and adjust the speed of your loop and/or adjust your wrist motion as you release the loop to start the trick. If you video your best attempt and send it to me I can take a look and possibly make suggestions. Rhinestoneroper@gmail.com

I've never made a 200footer. I've made a few 120ft. 200 is possible but it would be best to have a couple helpers in the middle keeping the three strands apart. You need to keep a close eye on the weight as it rises to the pully, because the weight will rise up to the pulley and the rope will no longer have slack to allow twisting. So, when the weight reaches the pully, you move the machine closer to the pulley so that the weight goes back to the ground. Then continue turning the handle. You will have to do this several times. It's not a fast project.

Farm n Fleet. :-)

You can do it!

Thank you. Yes Fred Mueller in Sheridan Wyoming makes them.

Yes, you just have to change tricks when your skin starts to get red.

Sorry about that. it's not that loud until I post it. I'll keep working on it.
