Jerry Miculek

Jerry Miculek, born September 7, 1954, in Texas, USA, is widely recognized as the greatest all-around shooter in modern times. His combination of speed, precision, and versatility has made him a living legend in shooting.

Miculek's career started relatively late - he was over 30 years old when he began competing professionally. Before this, he worked as a pipe welder and shot only as a hobby. His extraordinary talent quickly became apparent, and he became a full-time professional competitive shooter in 1989.

Among Miculek's most impressive records are:

• Firing 8 shots at 4 targets in 1.06 seconds

• Emptying a 5-shot revolver in 0.57 seconds

• Firing 12 shots from a revolver, reloading, and firing an additional 12 shots in under 3 seconds

• 6 shots, reloading, and 6 new shots with a revolver in 2.99 seconds

• Hitting a 10-inch target with a 1000 yards (914 meter) rifle

What truly sets Miculek apart from other top shooters is his incredible versatility. He has won championships in nearly all shooting disciplines, including revolver, pistol, rifle, shotgun, and 3-gun competitions (where shooters use all three weapon types in the same competition).

Miculek has also established an impressive family dynasty in shooting. His wife Kay is herself a master shooter, and their daughter Lena has followed in her parents' footsteps to become one of the world's best female competitive shooters.

Through his YouTube channel, Miculek has shared his knowledge and demonstrated his skills to millions of viewers. He continues to compete and set new records, even after passing the age of 65, proving his exceptional natural talent and dedication to the sport.
