Biography and early career
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.[citation needed]
Miculek estimates that in his lifetime he has shot over 2 million rounds of ammunition, which equals approximately 30 tons of lead.[4]
Major accomplishments and wins
Miculek holds over 100 national and world shooting titles including:
Two time Overall IPSC Revolver World Champion (2002[5] and 2005[6]), and two time Senior IPSC Revolver World Champion (2005 and 2011[7]).
Three time Masters International Long Gun Champion
Ten time IDPA Enhanced Service Revolver Champion
One time Bianchi Cup NRA World Action Pistol Metallic Champion
World records held
Miculek also demonstrated the ability to fire five shots from a revolver on target with a S&W Model 64ported barrelrevolver 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.[citation needed]
