Meet Joey Sauerland

I graduated from Miami University with a BS in Kinesiology and Health and began working my current job at Anytime Fitness. Every day I work with clients teaching, pushing, and motivating them to enhance their physical fitness. Health and physical training are a big part of my life, and I believe an important component of competitive shooting.

I became a USPSA member in 2021 and quickly decided this was the sport for me. For the last several years I’ve trained hard, largely under the guidance and coaching of Steve Anderson, to become the shooter I am today. I won’t speak too much to my skill level for fear of sounding boastful, but most would agree I’ve made huge amounts of progress in a very short amount of time.

I haven’t had access to vast amounts of ammunition, or the ability to go to an outdoor range, so I began with just dry fire training. Even when I did make it out to the outdoor range dry fire composed the great majority of my practice. This worked extremely well, and I didn’t adopt a regular live fire routine until I had made Grandmaster classification.

Now I compete on Team Masterpiece Arms, which is a huge honor. My training continues to evolve by the week, and I’m always learning more. In my sights are more Area titles, my first national title, and future world titles.
