Former Marine Scout Sniper and Instructor Owen Mulder joins Caylen Wojcik in the Modern Day Sniper studio for the first time — a conversation that dives deep into the art and science of reading the wind, training intuition, and performing under pressure.
From sniper school ranges to mountain hunts and competition stages, this episode connects the dots between brain science and bullet science — and shows why the best shooters aren’t just technicians… they’re artists with data.
In this episode
Owen’s return to Yakima and the evolution of Modern Day Sniper training grounds
Why wind was once the silent killer of qualification scores — and how better teaching solved it
The 4-step Wind Reading Blueprint: Range → Raw Wind → Working Wind → Apply the Hold
Mirage and perception: how your brain creates illusions (and how to train past them)
Building intuition that replaces math when your adrenaline is spiking
Movers & mountains: how to read compound angles and build visual acuity
Cognitive load, stress, and why the brain switches from thinking to feeling
Tools vs. technology: using Kestrels, Calypso, and wind arrays as teachers — not crutches
Preserving the legacy of the Marine Scout Sniper community for the next generation
Key Takeaway
Wind reading isn’t about guesswork or math — it’s about connection. Learn how to turn raw conditions into intuitive feedback that survives stress, time, and terrain.
“You don’t need more math under stress — you need intuition on demand.” — Owen Mulder
