I Wanna Try Pulling

This page is intended to be a collaboration and resource guide for those that would like to try Weight Pulling, but there are no pulls in their area. The intent is to get them talking amongst themselves, and maybe they can collaborate to put on a pull.  And, anyone that does conduct a pull, this would give them a list of interested parties.

See Pull Location Migration for where the current pulls occur, and where they were in the past.

Pulls are organized by individuals or groups that assemble the equipment, certify a judge, find a location, file for sanctioning, and conduct the pull.  This is non-trivial, but not extremely hard; especially if a group of people organize the pull.  See how to conduct a pull for help on assembling the equipment and organizing a pull.  IWPA will lend any assistance we can muster and afford in order to help you organize a pull.

The following table lists individuals with which we have corresponded that would like to try pulling and might be able to lend some assistance is setting up a pull.  They have agreed to have their name and Email listed here.  Listing are by state with region of state indicated for individuals, and date of posting.  No addresses, phone numbers or cities will be listed.

In referencing this table, look also in adjacent states.  Note: the states are not in alphabetical order.  And, I hope to setup mailing lists by state, but that will come later (technical difficulties).
