Joey Sauerland

Multi-Time National Champion and USPSA Grandmaster Joey Sauerland is known for coming a long way in the sport in a short amount of time. Starting in 2021, he achieved Grandmaster classification in less than two years, and his first national championship win in less than four. The great draw of Sauerland’s training methods is that he not only started as a beginner (was not a shooter before 2021) but that most of his progress was forged in dryfire training. Boasting a 12,500 round count to make grandmaster, and only 35,000 rounds to national champion. This is not only a sharp learning curve, but an affordable one, as most of the sport’s top shooters expend more than this amount every year. Sauerland is always emphasizing the importance and immeasurable value of quality dryfire training. Known also for a background in kinesiology and athletic training, Sauerland provides programs for physical training, reminding shooters that this is a sport, and we are athletes.
