Scoop on Jerry from wikipedia:
Born in Freeport, Texas, Jerry was a Texan for three days before moving with his family to southern Louisiana where he lived for the next thirty-seven years. Remnants of his Cajun accent can still be heard even though he has lived in northern Louisiana since 1990. Although he was the third born of five boys, Jerry Charles Miculek Jr. was named after his father after being born on his birthday. Growing up, Jerry showed little interest in “traditional” sports- Shooting and hunting were his passions from an early age. Most of his free time was spent shooting at a local dump in Gramercy, Louisiana with his younger brother, Donnie Miculek. Jerry worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for fifteen years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. At age thirty-seven, Jerry met his future wife, Kay Clark Miculek, the daughter of world-famous gunsmith, Jim Clark Sr., and a competitive shooter since age six. At age thirty-nine, Jerry received a crash course in childbirth, when the mid-wife scheduled for a planned home birth arrived five minutes too late. Lena Rosalie Miculek weighed in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces- Born March 22, 1995.[6]

Jerry is a complete handyman, gunsmith, mechanic, certified welder, pipe fitter, and machinist.[citation needed]

Jerry estimates that in his lifetime he has shot over 2 million rounds of ammunition, which equals approximately 30 tons of lead.[6]

Gramercy is located on Mississippi river between Baton rouge and New Orleans

Hey Bull, I bet you know some of those good old boys from Gramercy. I had a hard time understanding what some were saying. My late stepfather was from Gramercy. We hunted and crawfished down there when I was a kid.
I remember Jerry talking about shooting rats down by the dump.
Oh. We still need to get together and do some shooting.
 
When I watch his trigger finger, I am sure he could do it faster, but the rifle is too slow!

There are whole generations of hunters who are sure they can fire a pump shotgun faster than an automatic.
The previous generation's revolver wizard, Ed McGivern, said he shot revolvers because an automatic couldn't keep up with him.
A reporter got a look at an Xray of McGivern's right hand and said he had an unusually wide angle between forefinger and hand, perhaps that accounted for his speed. McGivern countered that perhaps 30 years of shooting had angled his joints.

I used to live down the road in Reserve. It's a different world.

I knew I was in a different world soon after I moved down and I went to the post office one morning on the way to work. I passed two codgers talking out front and walked on into the post office and realized they weren't speaking English.

Of course now that I live in Texas I hear more folks not speaking English.

One thing I'll say about Cajun country is that if they like you they will do anything for you. Got fixed up with several daughters of older women that I worked with.

But if they don't like you, you better move.
