Cheaper Than Dirt! Sponsors Miculek Family
The Miculek Family is shooting under the Cheaper Than Dirt! banner in the upcoming 2012 competition season. The sponsorship includes both Jerry and Kay Miculek competing on the 3-Gun Nation Pro Series Tour.
“Jerry Miculek is the world’s greatest living revolver shooter, said Michael Tenny, Cheaper Than Dirt! CEO.
“We are very excited to have the Miculek family representing us,” said Roberta Wilson, Cheaper Than Dirt! Chief Operating Officer. “Their wide acclaim in the shooting community is legendary. We are looking forward to this new partnership.”
Jerry is one of the most accomplished shooters in the world. Although most fans of the sport know Jerry for his many championships and world records shooting revolvers, he is also one of the top 3-gun competitors in the world, winning more than 52 national titles and 45 world titles throughout his career.
Jerry makes regular appearances on several television programs, including NBC Sports Network’s “3-Gun Nation” and “Hot Shots,” as well as Outdoor Channel’s “Impossible Shots.” Jerry has also appeared on “Top Shots,” “Tales of the Gun,” “Sharpshooters,” “Extreme Marksman,” and “Sons of Guns.”

Winning her first national title at the 1975 NRA High Power Silhouette Championships, wife Kay’s shooting career is equally impressive. She began participating in the Action Shooting Sports in 1990, winning the IPSC World Handgun Championships as an individual twice, and winning USPSA Women’s Open Team four times. Additionally, Kay is a nine-time USPSA Women’s National Open Division Champion, 15-time USPSA Women’s Multi-Gun Champion, and holds numerous national, regional and state titles.
Although Lena was born into a family of competition shooters, she did not start taking her shooting too seriously until a few years ago. Regardless, at age 16, Lena already has an impressive shooting resume. Her favorite competition is a 3-gun match called the Sportsman’s Team Challenge. As two-time National Championship Sub-Junior Team member and three-time National Championship Junior Team member, Lena was a member of the only all-female team ever to win the Sportsman’s A-division National Championship title it 2011. Her credits include a World Speed Shooting Junior Title. Last year lena became a member of the Women of USPSA’s Triple Threat Club, winning three USPSA Area Championships in the Revolver Division. This year Lena will be concentrating on Multi-Gun matches.
