Smith & Wesson announced on Friday that it is welcoming back Lena Miculek to its Ambassador team.

The daughter of legendary competitive shooter Jerry Miculek, Lena has carved out her own remarkable career as a 10-time world champion, firearms instructor and product developer in the firearm industry. She also claimed three consecutive High Lady titles at the NRA World Shooting Championship in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“Smith & Wesson has been part of my family for over 35 years, and carrying on the Miculek legacy means everything to me,” she said. “We share a passion for the firearms owner, and I am grateful for the opportunity God has placed before me as we reshape the future of this industry together.”

Smith & Wesson expressed equal enthusiasm about the reunion. “We are excited to welcome Lena Miculek to the Smith & Wesson Ambassador team,” the company said. “As a 10-time world champion competitive shooter, firearm instructor and product developer, she embodies the performance, innovation and passion that define Smith & Wesson."

In October 2025, Miculek announced her surprise departure from SIG Sauer’s shooting team after 10 years with the company. That same day, Team Captain Max Michel also announced that he was leaving SIG Sauer.
