Imagine being raised and taught by Jerry with the advantage of all his knowledge and experience.
I wonder if when she was a baby all you hear was "BEEP" then diaper change in record time.
Bet her boyfriends never thought that. Haha
Seems like Jerry did a hell if a job with her, she will make some man very happy one day, or woman
Rob Lambert haaa
@Harlod Shekelbond ...and you arrive at that conclusion how?
Lena doing her best not to say "SIG" on Jerry's S&W sponsored video haha. I love it!
This is the best comment by far

Jerry must be super proud can see it whenever Lena is talking. Love how they both respect each other and listen when the other person is speaking. Would be fun to see more of these father daughter vids
My Grandfather was a WW1 sniper and had me shooting a small 22 revolver when I was only 7 or 8 and a S&W 38spl when I was 9 & his 1911 when I was 10, without my parents ever knowing of course. I used to spend every other weekend with my papaw and we always went out behind his house and shot a few boxes of ammo where he had a small range setup. I remember later on when my dad which I had shot a nylon 22 rifle with purchased a browning mark 22 target semiautomatic handgun when I was 13 and was going to teach me how to shoot a handgun for the first time. He handed it to me after a 15min safety talk and general trigger control speech and I’ll never forget the look on his face after I put 5 out of 6 rounds in the 10 ring rapid fire. It was priceless and I think he knew then but I never told him I had been shooting with my papaw for 6+yrs by then, I always laugh now when I think about it. Lena has probably been shooting since she was big enough to support the weight of a handgun. Reminds me of my papaw & me
The story of a true American!
My dad took me hunting at age 9, with a 410 my granddad gave me. He was very surprised and kind of proud at how easily I dispatched about 5 squirrels that day. An old 410 made in 1934, I still have it!
I was shooting way under 10 also and it has saved my life. Kinda like learning to swim. Gun fights are good fights to win.
Great story! Thanks!
@james thank you that was a great story!
What a story, thanks for sharing! My son won't be able to tell a story like that though... No way I'll let his pawpaw beat me to the punch.
I’m liking the father daughter duo
@Smoov Cat
LOL what woman hurt you, snowflake. Get a grip.
@Smoov Cat get a woman. It will make your crusade that much more meaningful.

Lena Croft, Tomb Raider.
ic3p1k I thought the same thing 😹
Looking GOOD 👍
Can I get that copy on steam?
Boom raider!
I would watch that movie, or a Lena Wick video series.
Not sure if Jerry reads these comments, but I recently made the switch to electronic. His daughter's explanation has helped me with acquisition more than any thing else up to this point. It's the day after Father's day and as a dad of three daughters, I can only hope my girls are a fraction as enthusiastic and proficient in shooting sports as Lena. Good work Mr. Miculek.
Mr Miculek is giving advice we used to have to pay for. What a saint.
Father-Daughter time together is so precious! Good presentation, too. I learned a lot from this. Thanks.
1:12 Old Yeller roams into the frame. Not surprised.
Having watched vids with you and Lena, it is amazing how y'all are just so in sync!! Finishing each other's sentences and thoughts.
Y'all truly have an amazing relationship. God has truly blessed y'all.
Texas_stone_ Stone Amen
A pair of national treasures for a sport that actually matters.
Lena seems to have a great personality. Would love to see her in more videos if possible.
Two great personalities. Nice thighs too.
There’s something about dangerous women......🤔
I think she has her own channel too
The family has their own show called Shoot Out Lane airs on Wednesday evenings on the outdoor channel, filmed on Jerry’s property in Monroe, La. They are all great shooters & fun to watch how competitive they are amongst themselves & very humble, down to earth southern folks.
@@Chance57 wouldn't make jokes like that with a family thats shoots that fast
I started to laugh out loud when Lena started to shimmy before drawing her pistol. I also agree with the sentiment shared by others that Lena is a prettier version of Jerry! Keep up the great work you’re doing. God bless you. 😎
Like a cat setting up to pounce, target fixation, setting up for the leap. Only thing missing was the lip smacking.
I met her in person at the local gun range and the camera does not do her justice. She is wonderful to talk with, very engaging.
It's absolutely great to listen to these two experts they are great
I love her personality, so wholesome. Good work raising your kid Jerry.✌🏻
Does anyone but me notice how it seems like it is a second nature to both of them when they draw their weapons. And I loved how she settled her feet before drawing.
And reholstering it. That's always my hardest movement. She hardly ever looked down.
Ughmahedhurtz - they are obviously dry firing and shooting at a 100 to 1 ratio maybe more. She told us, over and over. You in an hour of dry fire(Draw, Present, while Vision focusing, Trigger Squeeze) All my shooters helped Doc get better as well.
Jerry's line about "First on the range and last to leave" always rings in my mind. Most people can do most things well with enough practice.
Great observations! Practice and good training, and more practice. Just like in any athletic sport, that "athletic" stance is an important element....
J Eric n. I could practice running the mile while I was in high school but I would never be good at it. If you aren’t born with some of the abilities (reflexes) you will never get it no matter how much you practice. Just like in running you have to have some of the abilities when you are born.
I like how they both translate their dioluge with sign language.
because one of them is deaf...
Probably because it's easier to get the point across with earmuffs on and shots going off all around.
Lena is so cute. She has Jerry's mannerisms. And chin.
dante144 cheeks too
@@BiggMo You like obese women then good for you, Lena however seem to be comfortable with herself and that is great too. Here is a food for thought, She or anyone really is a lot faster with a lean body rather than some hulk.
Yes, she’s cute with a personality
@@kanekadn5533 This is her Dad's channel. Where's the same respect you would want? Besides, the Lord can hear you and He knows you are a pervert.

Thank you for these tips. I’ve been a firearms instructor since the late 80’s, mostly for Law Enforcement. I’m retired now and am instructing civilians. I’m 62 and the eyes sure aren’t what they used to be. I recently purchased a Glock G45MOS and topped it with a Holosun. I’m struggling. I keep looking for the front sight. Huge learning curve. Having been in an on duty shooting, I can testify that the officer is looking at the suspect, in my case his handgun. I don’t remember seeing my sight but my shots were accurate.
*Jerry Miculek - Pro shooter* Thank-you sir for taking the time to film this for us. God Bless brother
Very good, I am 70 been thinking about red dot, after watching you guys I am going to make the leap👌
Start with a fiber optic on your front sight and then make the transition if you need to. I have matching M&P's and both have their uses.
If you don't have a MOS slide, you should try using a sight mount like this first: www.amazon.com/DPP-Titanium-Mounting-Fastfire-anodizing/dp/B07SPT21CC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=DPP+Titanium+Glock+Sight+Mount%2FMounting+Plate%2FAdapter+for+Vortex+Venom+%26+Viper%2C+Burris+Fastfire%2C+Docter&qid=1589062572&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1
That will let you try out the RDS without machining your slide or buying a new one, and if you like it you can always go the MOS route later on. Personally though, I stuck with the mount on my EDC, as I don't like co-witness personally (can't help wanting to align sights with the red dot) and it gives me the option to switch back later if I want.
@@deathlis, thanks!!!
Kinda late
Go red dot. You will not be disappointed!!! It's a game changer for those of us with aged eyes. Dirty little secret... when starting out, look for the front sight while presenting... the dot will magically appear.
Great advice, I never thought about over fixating on the target and then having to bring my focus BACK to where my sights actually are. Awesome y’all 💯
0:53 good ole Jerry doing his chamber checks :)
Jerry and Lena thank you for today's video from all of us in Buffalo, NY. Please stay safe and healthy
Michael OBrien 716!💪
Great shooters and great teachers.
Love you both.
Excellent presentation from very credible sources. Jerry, keep Lena in your videos. She adds just the right amount of color and spark to the topic.
I have watched many of your videos over the years and this one was one of the best. Having both of you explaining what is going on was easier to understand. You two make a good team hopefully more videos to come. Good Job.
The biggest challenge I've personally had with red dots is learning how to zero the thing, especially since I'm coming off of zeroing ARs and AKs. Thinking my groups suck, when they're actually just fine for pistols.
You put the dot on the front sight lol its extremely easy
@@highspeed9518 you can't even see the front sight using a reddot....seriously?
@@highspeed9518 How does that even work?
@Joe If you are sighting in by hand, what would be a acceptable group size
@@ironnads7975
On a pistol with an RMR sight, you can install taller iron sights, and get a sight picture through the lens of the RMR. Assuming the iron sights are zeroed, you just line the dot up with them.
Two of the best ambassadors of the 2A community - God bless you both!
I always enjoy watching Jerry specially when Lena is with him. I learned a lot from them, thank you.
I really enjoy seeing yall due videos together. A very nice blend of old school and new school.
I will be using this method on the red dot acquisition, I was coming straight up. Thanks!!
By far my favorite video. It gives us a glimpse into why Lena and Jerry are such amazing competitors. Of course they aren't going to give us their trade secrets, although I seen the difference in the abilities of the youtubers they have collaborated with before and after. Keep up the great content!
I have no idea how much I like these two. I have made huge improvements with my shooting since I found your videos. Thank you for your knowledge 🙏
I had a lot of lifelong training in first aid. My instructors made it easy for us by this quality of explanation. So far this has saved many lives.
Switched to a red dot about 3 years ago (60) for the usual reason, eyesight. It took about 3 months to get the draw stroke back under control. What cracked the code was trying to pick up the front sight in peripheral vision and drive it smoothly to the target, picking it up early in the presentation. The dot started appearing on the target earlier and earlier. Shooting better now than I was in my 30s... Great video, thank yall. Cheers
I absolutely love the father/daughter combo. It's so great to see Jerry's knowledge being passed down. Others have commented on their similarities but it's endearing that Lena is so "spunky" while Jerry is so "calm". You can even see at times where Lena is so excited that her hips dance prior to unholstering. You both compliment each other well and it's very cool to see the family aspect. I have to believe there is friendly competition between you two for shooting speed. Any chance you'll share with us?
Lena is a doll... great, fun personality and an awesome shooter... thank you Jerry for encouraging Lena to bless us with her self...
Good to have you both doing videos! Thanks for being on youtube and making these posts!
Lena is a copy of Jerry.
Joe yea her personality is great
She’s probably training to be a gunsmith now that’s she has mastered shooting.
Yes doug, that's how kids work.
"The keep vision on sight" was revelation to me.
hond654 - This clip had it All!!! Truly a very intuitive technique that if you paid attention, you came away with at least 1 tweak you would like to try. She said it over and over, “Dry Fire”. Just in case you were wondering about the whole dry firing on a empty chamber, get a quality Snap Cap or don’t worry to much it. Modern Firearms can take if they are made out of quality materials like a Smith & Wesson product.
@@John-zv1hy The difference is red dots allow you to be threat focused not sight focused in my opinion.
@@John-zv1hy hard pass on my side, but to each their own.
@John Smith well, i was only trained on carbine and hand gun shooting is completely new to me. We were trained to follow the target (yes, you can guess this was army training) and it is very hard wired now. As he said that explains inaccuracy and slower shooting with handgun. Maybe it is also related to range shooting where target is not moving so target tracking is less important than sight tracking. I am not the expert here:)
The research proves that is what counts for accuracy. Fundamental to keep in mind.
Great job you two, a old guy here trying to get back into these again. Thanks for everything you guys do.
Both sooo enthusiastic. Love how she starts training right during the talk and has so much energy within.
Is it just me or is her little wiggle the cutest thing ever?
Shhhhhhh.......don’t tell......she’ll stop.
One trick I used when starting with a dot and still now. I find the front sight and use it as a reference point on presentation. It helps me find the dot quicker, which may be a personal thing.
Jerry, watched your videos for a few years now. You’re a legend, love what you do. Lena is the next legend in the making, the more she’s in your videos the quicker we can get the next generation involved in what you’re doing. Love it, keep it up.
I’ve been shooting since 1974 and I ALWAYS learn something when watching your duo or individual videos! Thank you for thinking of us everyday shooters trying to improve our skills.
The father daughter videos are the best 😊 Lena is too cute all the time 🙌😁❤ Thnx
Lena is a great teacher, so well spoken and talks in a way that makes it easy to understand. You did a good job with her Jerry.
I agree!! She makes learning to shoot fun!!
These guys are very dynamic together. The combination of expertise, skills, and excitement make a great video. Thumbs UP!
Been shooting for years; the last part they are covering is so often looked; great advice for anyone who watches this and makes that connection; it’s hard to show and teach it to others; they have to change themselves. Good stuff!
Great tips will try when out of lockdown.
damn this was such a great video! more Lena + Jerry technique explanation please!!!
Thank you both for sharing the extensive knowledge you both have !
Thank you both !!! I am a 73 year young (lol) shooter and am preparing to make this "jump" and your video was EXTREMELY helpful !! Thanks again !!!
Besides being a great shooter, I think Lena can communicate really well and clearly. She can be an excellent instructor if she wants. I certainly would like to see Lena and Jerry together more often giving shooting and training tips on their channel.
I've watched Jerry's training videos a few years ago after I applied those techniques I instantly became a better shooter
When it's time to hand over the torch I'd sure feel confident in that young ladies abilities. Like father like daughter. Need more of these two.
i love how lena and jerry both have there own style...lena i learn as much from you as i do from you dad...thats saying alot
Great job! Obvious natural chemistry between dad and daughter. Please make more videos together!
Does Lena have a TH-cam Channel ? Or anymore knowledge she willing to share!
Wow, poetry in motion Lena - amazing how practice perfect looks.
Great information presented in an easy to understand format. Thank you and keep it coming. Love you guys.
Fascinating information that is not "common sense " from two of the greats. Thank you!!!
Like the Dynamic Duo tips. Gettt you some, and keep em coming.
great explainers of difficult topics/teachers/story tellers!
the energy is as great as the shooting!
best thing I saw all day!
thanks!
I'm not a handgun guy, but you made it so that even I could understand it. Very well put together video. Lena is so lucky to have one of....no, THE greatest teachers ever!!
Jerry, I guarantee there is never a dull moment around that daughter of yours! At the end of the video, You are like I'm done and she is still pow powing with her fingers. Oh to be young!!!
Love the dynamic duo!
Excellent video!
Keep'em coming!
She's a natural. Listen to her Jerry, she will whip ya into shape for the camera. Love you guys.
Always great training. Thank you for the knowledge.
Excellent. Thank y’all for posting posting. You two are great 👍.
The advantage of a dot is your eyes can stay focused on the target, and in a self defense scenario, your eyes will focus on the threat
thank you. no one else realizing that jerry telling everyone to not look at the target is incorrect. thats the only thing you should be looking at. super impose the dot
Jerry, I'm so glad you don't wiggle your rear end when getting ready to shoot. That would just be weird. But with Lena, it makes perfect sense.
this always been awesome content love the videos and lena brings them alive with a lil animated action I love it thanks guys from the extra wisdom I get from you guys keep it up
Great vid! Awesome job you two!
Lena has lost weight and a new hairstyle looks great! Bruno Switzerland🥰
She probably hates hearing this but she looks just like her dad
Do you not? I'm like the scaled up version of my dad.
Nothing to hate, he's a good looking guy, and she's a good looking gal.
I think I could tell them apart easily, even in the dark.
I hope not; they both look awesome.
Cheeks, chin and brow, yeah.
I love this Daddy-Daughter video. Great. Instruction and tips. Thank you to the Miculek family.
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
Question: What about on ARs and others with side Iron sights with a Red Dot; is it a good upgrade? Question: Is it easy sight in side sights? I luv you guys! Stay safe! I would be a dream come true to shoot with you. Lastly we could have really have used your training/sight in Iraq!
Maybe run a main red dot + offset red dot (becoming common in PCC, good for certain applications like shooting on the move or around barricades) or LPVO + offset red dot.
It's infinitely easier, your cheek weld prevents you from losing the dot.
Just co-witness and run. In competition, I couldn't tell you. I was never interested in that aspect.
Now I just need to buy that new MOS ready pistol...never ends 😂
I just threw my first dot on a Ruger MK4 22/45 to start training with one. It is definitely a challenge. I'm not doing an MOS until I know I like a dot.
@@ChristopherKnN I love my mk4 tactical
Jerry and Lena complements each other very well! Jerry tends to skip over things and be too brief, but then Lena adds more flesh on the bones, and then Jerry can summarize very well. Works great.
Great video and excellent lesson on sight picture and alignment. looking forward to seeing more!
I went with my buddy, who's an airborne ranger, to the range a few months back. I remember him telling me about his experiences with different red dot sights. Specifically how he had an issue with some being polarized and not being able to see the reticle while running drills with any sunglasses on that were polarized. Thoughts on this Jerry?
Specifically thought he was having battery issues because it was happening when he rotated his firearm, this caused the light waves from the red dot to cross the polarity of his sunglasses, which like sunlight, was then blocked out.
I can’t imagine Jerry in Canada.
Why not?
Vrealon Handguns are restricted by default, and you can’t take them out into the woods to plink. The only place you can use them is at the range.
Thanks Jerry and Lena, just the info I was looking for.
More Lena! She's a fantastic addition! I really enjoy these duo videos of you two. Keep it up.
You know damn well that she was cheeky because she was with her dad. Cute.
Imagine trying to rob these guys during a family outing. I would almost feel sorry for the crim. Almost (ok not really).
it's not the guy who doesn't know who they are that i'd worry about. it's the guy that wishes them harm and does know who they are like what happened to Chris Kyle. White male american, good with guns = liberals' highest value target right now
Most people would think they were a non-threat or easy targets because one is an old man and the other a tiny female. Jokes on them though, because these two are LETHAL. POW POW.
I am new to the Red Dot, and I LOVE it! This really helped. Going to the desert this weekend to practice this method you taught.
The master and his lovely prodigy.
Love watching the interaction.
You've raised a lovely,bubbly young lady .Well done sir.
2:09 -- Time to reapply that fingernail polish buddy, you've plumb wore that to nothing.
Girls can’t shoot
Lena “hold my 🍺”
Exactly what I needed, presented in a very easy to understand way. Thank you.
thanks guys i love the way you both explain stuff so that it makes perfect sense y'all are awesome keep up the great videos thanks again
Good God.., its like Jerry 30 years in the past who decided to have a sex change.
Andy, She definitely can’t deny her dad!
