JERRY MICULEK
In 2011, Jerry Miculek came up short in a season-long, three-way battle for the division title between himself, Mike Voigt and eventual champion Clint Upchurch. This season, however, was a very
dierent story.
JESSETISCHAUSER
Stag Arms’ Jesse Tischauser declared way back at the beginning of the 2012 campaign that he was going to win the 3GN Heavy Metal Optics Division Championship. Then after a solid season, with one important head-to-head match-up, along with a little help, Tischauser did just that.

GETTING SPONSORED - certain traits and skill sets can put sponsor logos on your shirt, and it’s not all about performance.
page 40page 102
The saying goes that there are two kinds of people: those who have been
disqualied in a match and
those who will be.
In any shooting competition, a sudden death nale makes all
of the hype and build up worth the wait.

Few competitors have been on an upward rise as steep as Greg Jordan. Since converting to 3-Gun, the Grand Master-Level pistol shooter has been on a tear.
