Episode 133
Friday, 27 March, 2026
In this episode of the Modern Day Sniper Podcast, Caylen sits down with Jay Nichol—backcountry hunter, outfitter, and the mind behind The Mindful Hunter—following his time in our Long Range Skills Progression course in Yakima, Washington. This conversation goes well beyond rifles and ballistics, diving into the mindset behind skill development, the realities of modern hunting, and the gap between perceived proficiency and true capability. Jay shares his experience stepping outside his comfort zone, confronting weaknesses, and reframing training as a lifelong process built on exposure, feedback, and intentional practice—not quick fixes or gear purchases. We also explore the parallels between hunting, competition, and personal growth—covering everything from managing pressure in critical moments to the importance of structured training and honest self-assessment. Whether you're a seasoned hunter, competitive shooter, or just beginning your journey, this episode highlights what it really takes to build confidence and consistency when it matters most. Stick around to hear more about our 2026 training schedule, upcoming opportunities, and how to continue your development inside the Modern Day Sniper ecosystem.Learn More from Jay Nichol – The Mindful Hunter Website: https://www.mindfulhunter.com/Mindful Reviews: https://www.mindful-reviews.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindfulHunterInstagram: @mindfulhunterModern Day Sniper Website: https://www.moderndaysniper.com/Training & Events (Register Here): https://www.moderndaysniper.com/eventsModern Day Rifleman (Online Training): https://www.moderndayrifleman.com/Follow Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moderndaysniper/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ModernDaySniperFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/moderndaysniperLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-day-sniperTrain with purpose.
