New Record try

[Round_Gun_Shooter]

Anyone have more info on this revolver record attempt?

Message from Jim Scoutten:

OLN is airing a lot of Shooting USA episodes in the final weeks of 2004 and

we hope you are enjoying seeing those reruns, but there are three new

episodes coming that I want to call to your attention.

(SNIP)

December 31st (New Year's Eve) Jerry Miculek steps to the shooting line to

set two new world speed shooting records.  You won't believe the speed of the

fastest man to ever shoot a double action revolver.  8:00PM Eastern with a

replay at 11:00 PM Eastern (8:00PM Pacific).  Plus we have the inside story of

the creation of the S&W 500 Magnum. I can promise you it's more excitement

than anything Regis may be doing in Times Square on New Year's Eve, filling in

for Dick Clark.

Those shows are our Christmas presents to you that are sent with our best

wishes for the holidays. 

All of us at Shooting USA will be taking a few days off during the holidays

to enjoy some time with family and friends. 

We wish you the best for a prosperous and happy 2005.

Week of December 31st –

Jerry Miculek - Revolver World Records

He is considered the fastest man alive with a double action revolver, after setting three world speed shooting records in 1999. Now Jerry wants two more records from the past.  He’s trying to break the late Ed McGivern’s record for 5 shots from a revolver in 0.60 sec. and six shots from each of 10 revolvers in less than 20 seconds. We’re in Jackson, MS to find out if he can become the fastest who ever lived.

But I thought he already did those.

Well, I thought so to. They were advertising as "new" is there something else?

Thanks Spook.

IIRC the record Jerry got was 8 shots in 2.00 seconds, 8 shots on 4 targets (2 per) in 2.XX seconds, and 6 shots, reload, 6 shots in 2.99 seconds .

First was a 627 .38 super, second was with a 625

Those are way old.

I saw the six shots from 10 guns, so I know that's a re-run. Haven't seen the 5 shot record attempt.

Yup those are the old ones. And BTW the 8 shot records were 1(!!!) second

Is it possible he didn't make it the first time and is trying again?

1st from the Miculek poster on my wall 8 shots 1 target 1.00 seconds. 8 shots four targets (2 each) 1.06 seconds. 6 reload 6 on one target 2.99 seconds. What I see from the pictures it is all in how you hold your tongue

The New Year Eve show maybe be an attempt to break his own record. I think I will e mail Scouten.

Regards and Merry Christmas,
