American speed shooter

Jerry Charles Miculek Jr. ('/m//ɪ//tʃ//ə//l//ɛ//k/ MITCHəlek; born September 7, 1954) is an American professional competition shooter known for his achievements in 3 Gun and speed shooting. He holds five officially sanctioned world records in revolver shooting and over 15 unsanctioned records with firearms ranging from 9mm semi automatic pistols to the .50 BMG Barrett M107 anti material rifle. Additional accomplishments include rapid firing 12 shots (including one quick reload) from a six shooter in 2.99 seconds, fast shooting six shots in .98 seconds from a handheld Barrett M107, and a 1000 yard off hand shot with his 9mm Smith & Wesson revolver. Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for 15 years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. He is married to Kay Clark Miculek, herself a shooter with national and world titles. His daughter, Lena Miculek Afentul, is also a shooter with IPSC world titles. Miculek is endorsed by Smith & Wesson, who named the S&W Model 625JM model for him. In 2014, Smith & Wesson released the Miculek series Smith & Wesson Model 929 9mm revolver, designed in part by Miculek. Mossberg offers Miculek signature series shotguns and a rifle compensator of his design.

Born in Freeport, Texas, Miculek was in Texas for three days before moving with his family to southern Louisiana where he lived for the next thirty seven years. He was the third of five brothers. Miculek was named after his father after being born on his birthday. Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for fifteen years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. At age 37, Miculek met his future wife, Kay Clark Miculek, another competitive shooter. Miculek estimates that in his lifetime he has shot over 2 million rounds of ammunition, which equals approximately 30 tons of lead.

Miculek also demonstrated the ability to fire five shots from a revolver on target with a S&W Model 64 ported barrel revolver in 0.57 seconds on September 25, 2003. This is slower than the record held by Ed McGivern of 0.45 seconds (first shot on 9/13/1932, reproduced 4 times on 12/8/1932). Originally recorded as "two fifths of a second", the resolution of the timing equipment in 1932 was only 0.20 of a second, so the actual figure could have been anywhere between 0.25 and 0.65 seconds.
