SARACEN bag from WARHORSE DEVELOPMENT

Thank you for the kind words. Send photos when you can!

Great bags and great people. It’s my go-to for most everything.

I have the smaller version of the Saracen (comanche it think) and like it. Their bags truly are a cut above the rest.

Used mine over the past weekend in our local prs match. Great bag, everyone should have this bag for matches with props.

I love mine, had it for almost a year now, it's a hit at matches and especially useful when glassing.

We are now stocking their bags as well

Warhorse bags

Just received one of Warhorse's Bags. Comanche Field Bag, nice size, great construction and made by a great guy in Montana!

I was torn between the Saracen and the Game Changer. As luck would have it, we made a deal, and I ended up with the wonderful Tactical Udder... and I am so glad it worked out that way!! I use this bag for basically everything, and couldn’t be happier!!

Great people and products... None better!!

Just picked up a comanche bag and shot a match with it today. It was great as both a front and rear bag. Also used it on top of a buddies tripod. Highly recommend it.

I own a Saracen myself and love it. I have used it in more positions I can count and it's always providing a stable shooting platform. I used it last fall to build a stable enough shooting position to make a cold bore 632 yard shot in the fog and rain on a deer out of a tree stand. Deer was dead on spot via a 147 ELD-M.

I love my Saracen. I had a gamechanger and sold it after getting this one. I wanna try out the smaller one.

Ordered a Comanche a week ago based on all of the positive comments-looking forward to running it.

LOVE my Saracen and Canister bags!

@Birch Creek I love the concept of this bag but I was wondering... could you guys make a truly miniature version that I could rail mount underneath or behind a bipod. Like beanie baby sized. Here is a quick mockup of what I mean

I've had a Commanche for a few weeks now, and it is really excellent. Very high quality, super stable, not too heavy, and is also the best rear bag I've ever used. I now want a Saracen, just because.

I've got the Saracen and it's awesome. Cleaned stage from top of tank trap last time out and found lots of uses: barricades, tripods, rooftops.

I only carry it and a small rear bag.

The Comanche is substantially smaller than the Saracen. And coincidentally I am working with HRD gear right now to make it rail mounted. He just shipped me the new parts today, so hopefully really soon we will be getting those out to you guys.

Here’s a picture, hopefully, of my partner and I at the Sniper’s hide team match. He is running the Saracen and a Canister and I have the Comanche up front. I’m the one in the desert digi boonie.

You were helping me on another thread about rear bags earlier this week, and I started researching other threads on the Hide to learn more about the Comanche bag. Do you happen to have any videos showing the different ways the Comanche can be utilized as a rear bag? Just curious!

I can surely do something for you. Here’s a photo of me using the Comanche being super low.

Yup i am going to grab a commanche to
hang with saracen bag

Saw a post above that has me wondering what the differences between the saracen and tactical udder are. On bison tacticals website it says the tactical udder was formerly called the Saracen??? Seems like both are currently available to purchase through different vendors, can anyone shed some light here?

Saracen and Comanche (smaller version) are from Warhorse Development who was originally partnered with Bison. They have since part ways and Bison now makes the tactical udder

I have a saracen and comanche coming today I can post a side by side with a gamechanger

Thanks

I just got a saracen and a second commanche. That Saracen is truly awesome, and the commanche is my do everything bag, so I got a second one to leave with my work gear. I hate having to swap stuff around and possibly forget something when I need it.

I was shooting off of a barricade this morning, and the standing height step was a bit too tall for me (no surprise there, and I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.) I tried a friend's gamechanger, which I really like, but it was just too tall for that position for me. The Commanche got quite a bit lower, and allowed me to make hits, even having to be a bit on my toes. The kneeling step was also a bit too high for me, so I couldn't support my shooting arm. I wanted to train a bit without a pump pilllow, so again, the commanche allowed me to have a slightly lower position than the GC. Very adaptable bag.

Thank you for the pic!

I have a question about the fill. Diver160651 said this about the game changer in another thead: “The OGC or Game Changer mentioned is great on barracadies.. But huge and heavy as hell. For getting hits it is hard to beat in that use. These are NOT rear squeeze bags. The new fill is not as stable.” I know Diver160651 was talking about the fill in their game changer, but in your opinion is the fill in the Comanche pliable enough that it can easily be utilized as a squeeze bag?

Build quality is SUPERB. I can't wait to use these over the next few weeks. Very pliable and form a nice platform on my "barricade" as shown. Also provide a nice big stable platform when flattened out for rocks/logs etc. Will work as a reag bag too by grabbing where the legs connect to main portion, fill is plenty pliable for small adjustments while having a big surface area for the stock to ride on

Another thing to note. The way they're constructed they are very stable when placed on top of each other to get a little extra height/clearance for AI mags

It must be written in the stars, karma or fate. I was at the University Of Kansas Museam of Natural History this week for a bit. While there, I was able to read the full story of Comanche and see the taxidermied remains of the beast. Time for me to order me some WARHORSE.

So, I’ve changed from the original fill I had been using when I first started making these bags. The fill that I’m using now is super pliable and flows better than the original stuff. It is variable in its size and shape, it looks like the candy Nerds. It is lighter than the older fill, too. I have been experimenting with a blend of the “Nerds” and another fill to lighten them up even more but still retain the ability to flow and remain pliable. I’ve gotten the Comanche to weigh 3.3 lbs with this mix and stay as awesome as it was before at 3.8 lbs.

Clifton Reasor and I have talked at length about fills and their properties. The dude is pretty legit and a hell of nice guy. The fill he is using is proprietary so I can’t attest to what he is using.

Why no straps on the Comanche to attach it to your rifle?

it has 4 regular handles. easy enough to attach a strap to those. would really only need 1

He is working on a way to attach the Commanche with straps to your rifle. He has also come out with a Commanche that attaches via Arca mount to your rifle as well. Pretty awesome!

Really enjoyed the Comanche story. And seeing as how they are a big hit I'll be grabbing one up.

I just placed an order for a Saracen. Looking forward to trying it out!

Right from the Horses Mouth. (See what I did there).......

My Saracen. Sugar Shack stage on my private Range.

I have the Comanche. It is a very versatile bag. Works awesome on barricades. Using it for a rear bag with a bipod, you can lay it out flat, on its side with the legs wrapped around your hand, or double a leg or two back on itself to fit a lot of heights depending on height of prone position and shooting a little up or down angles.

Comanche looks like a nice smaller footprint design of the great Saracen ... might have to jump on one. Lots of great new gear around here.

@Troy G Love that POS shack ... hopefully that isn't home (probably not, given the scope you are running on that rig)

@jbailey No just home for mice and my range owls. ?

couldn't have been happier with the performance of either. one of the guys in my squad bought a comanche the saturday night of the match while we were at dinner.

I used both at the Gunwerks match

On day one we didn't have to move too much so I used the bigger Saracen bag, then on day two, the field stages, not sure how much walking would be involved I used the Commache

These are awesome bags and I found the design super useful under all the conditions encountered

Home run bags for sure

Do you have a preference for one over the other?

if i had to carry only 1 it would be the comanche. but they both had stages where there was a clear winner between the two, though i'm sure the comanche would have been just fine in the instances when i used the saracen

Comanche came in today from MHSA and looks/feels pretty awesome. Practice session tomorrow. Anyone know where to get more fill if needed?

Just give me a holler if you do. We are going to have that available soon on the website.
