Members roo4u Posted May 18, 2011 Members Report Posted May 18, 2011 i would say 4 strand chap leather, probably braided around a rope core....when i googled it i found them from 25 to 48 inches long. the end part is finished with just a wrap and then the ends are split to make the streamers...

Members blackhammer Posted May 20, 2011 Members Report Posted May 20, 2011 I made a few of these out of parachute cord over a rope core. You can get the panic snaps at any tack store. Be careful if you make these for a "club". If you arent already hangin around with them, other clubs may view you in that role. That said, getbacks are a great started project. Quote Take your time. In a hurry.
