Three members of the Stone Glacier team level up their shooting under the expert guidance of Modern Day Sniper, taking the skills and mental discipline honed at the range into the field to make every first shot count on the hunt.

I'm humbled to be a focus of this production. I first heard about Stone Glacier from a good friend and backcountry hunting mentor almost a decade ago. He told me about these lightweight, bombproof bags and after I wore one for a trip, I was sold. I'd continue to use all of SG's equipment as it came about, watching this company grow from pure passion into what we see today. The entire staff at SG is committed to excellence in everything that they do, and I'm proud to have witnessed their growth from the beginning. Many thanks to all of the support SG has given both me personally, and for Modern Day Sniper as a brand. We're stoked to be SG's go-to source for training with rifles; the animals we pursue deserve the absolute best we can deliver. -Caylen W. 🤘

I was at the RRS warehouse buying my first tripod and got to meet Phil. And they asked me “how did you hear about us” and the answer was “Phil!”. Those guys are awesome and almost all of my marksmanship skills I have learned from them. Great video!

Thanks for the support!

[@BruceDeschamps]

The places you have access to for long-range shooting are out of this world! Cool video guys, really cool!

[@Barometer934]

I’ve been following along on this journey a couple of years now. I’m in the military and in the process of applying for a precision marksman position in part because I saw a Stone Glacier video of you guys hitting steel far away. Thanks for content like this

[@stoneglacier9636]

You got it! Thanks for watching, and thank you for your service.

Awesome video and great reminder to put in the work. I can appreciate the fact that someone mentioned that the main reason why he went through the course is for the respect of the animal. As an eastern guy who doesn’t have to take long shots (sub 100 yards, usually under 75) I definitely need to get some training behind the trigger especially if I plan on doing a Wyoming mule deer 🦌 and pronghorn rifle hunt next year. Same thing this year with a muzzleloader for Utah general deer 🦌

“Out of respect for the animals”, is one of the best statements I have heard, lately! Take what they are saying and apply it!

My RRS tripod changed everything about hunting for me. Cool to see you guys using one as well as other "precision" gear. Great crossover with MDS as well. I think Phil stepped away from it recently because he wants to be able to spend more time with his family. But Caylen is I'm sure a great guy too and I'd still love to take one of their classes. 19:10 a Foundation Centurion stock and a ZCO scope. Oh that man has GOOD taste.

[@ALChrist90]

Me too. RRS is amazing.

[@jaredlund9926]

Awesome video guys! Thank you.

[@masonb123]

This was an awesome watch! Got my Tikka 6.5 out yesterday and was ringing some steel at 400yds. This makes me want to get out again asap!! Keep up the good work yall!

[@karlweiby2307]

Great video! Learn learn learn and then Learn some more!

[@toddb930]

This is a great video. Caylen and Phillip are awesome instructors . I hope Philip will be offering some training opportunities in the Cody area.

[@johnsullivan676]

Lots of T3x's in KRGs wtih Nightforces. Can't go wrong with that set up.

[@justindownes7578]

Thanks for more great content!

Super inspired by this...the history, the story and the mission. I'm in Indiana. 8 year 0331 Marine Machine Gunner. 15 year LEO and current sniper team leader and avid hunter.Really curious of the insurance company you use...I'm done waiting. Gonna get an LLC, insurers and go for it. So many younger fathers/sons/mothers could benefit from a local Indiana training program. It's time to instruct. This IS the catalyst...thank you! Keep pushing.

[@GruntingToast]

What part of IN?

[@inky8123]

[@mftoutdoors7483]

Phenomenal video

[@zingo_man]

Don't get too good, everybody! They'll be no animals left 😂

[@conbom03]

What is that Velcro pouch he opened up that had all of his reloaded ammo, that is sweet.

[@TB_MPGP]

Very curious on the rifle setups y’all are using now? Might go down the rabbit hole of PRS and build a custom rifle. What ballistics do you guys like using?

[@TB_MPGP]

Do I spy a black label bino harness on Lyle??

[@stoneglacier9636]

👀

[@Z33Garage]

What is the weight on those guns?

[@stoneglacier9636]

The average comp gun weighs between 16-20+ pounds. Hunting rifles are obviously different. Our guys' hunting guns range from ~9-12lbs.

[@Z33Garage]

@@stoneglacier9636 ok yeah from the video the guns looked like they were PRS weight guns ( maybe minus the clip on weights)
