At the recent 2023 IPSC Shotgun World Shoot IV, hosted in Thailand, Lena Miculek successfully defended her title and became a four-time champion and the only woman to win the title in the history of the match.
Miculek, who uses a Mossberg 940 JM Pro model named in honor of her father, world-famous competition shooter Jerry Miculek, previously won the title in 2012 (Hungary), 2015 (Italy), and 2018 (France). She added to her winning streak with a gold medal in the SG Standard Lady Team match with fellow teammates, Jalise Williams and Becky Yackley, and her third gold medal in the Ladies Standard Shoot-Off. Additionally, Miculek set a ground-breaking record by becoming the first woman to place in the top twenty of all standard competitors (men and women), landing at 13th overall in this year’s World Shoot, according to Mossberg.
Shooting with her parents, world-renowned competitive shooters, Jerry and Kay Miculek, since she was eight years old, Lena has established her mark in the competition world with top multi-discipline wins with her first major championship in 2012. Since beginning active competition, Lena has claimed an impressive list of titles with nine World Shooting medals and over 100 national and championship wins including 3GN Lady Championship, Pan American 3-Gun High Lady, and USPSA Multi Gun Nationals.
“Lena has established herself as one of the top professional shooters, and in a relatively short period of time,” commented John MacLellan, Mossberg Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Her drive, determination, and commitment are admirable and she is the epitome of role models for our industry and the shooting sports. From everyone at Mossberg, congratulations to four-time World Champion, Lena Miculek!”
Jerry and Lena worked closely with Mossberg’s engineers to design a shotgun with a durable gas-operating system, enhanced finishes for ease of maintenance, and features right-out-of-the-box to stand up to the rigors of competition. The result is the award-winning and competition-proven 940 JM Pro.
