In a move that’s turning heads across the clay-target scene, Karen and Gebben Miles—two titans of the sport—have officially joined forces with Blaser, stepping into 2026 equipped with the brand’s FBX shotgun. Their decision isn’t just about switching guns; it’s a statement about raising the bar in competitive shooting, blending world-class skill with cutting-edge engineering.
Karen, a three-time World Champion with an armory full of titles, including the U.S. Open and National Championships, brings unmatched precision and calm under pressure. As for Gebben, he commands attention with a resume boasting the World FITASC Championship and multiple major wins that have earned him a spot among shooting’s elite.
What seals the deal for this duo is Blaser’s FBX—a shotgun engineered with a razor-sharp focus on balance and recoil control. It’s this harmony between shooter and tool that caught their eye. Karen praised the FBX’s thoughtful design, especially the perfect weight distribution and fine-tuning options that make every shot feel natural.
“Blaser clearly focused on comfort, balance and reducing recoil, all of which are crucial for keeping shooters confident and in control,” she said. “[These] elements come together as the perfect combination in the FBX.”
Gebben echoed the sentiment, highlighting the gun’s blend of sleek lines and solid feel, which together offer unmatched comfort and precision.
“From the linear recoil to the excellent overall balance and the beautifully executed receiver that blends round‑body and fat‑body elements,” he said. “Its slim profile and the clear sight picture around the barrels make it feel exceptionally natural and comfortable. Altogether, it’s simply a wonderful gun.”
This partnership signals more than just sponsorship—it’s a shared vision. Both Blaser and the Miles couple are dedicated to craftsmanship, continuous improvement and pushing the sport forward. With their combined reputation and expertise, expect them to shake up sporting-clays tournaments across the U.S. and beyond.
As Blaser deepens its footprint in the high-stakes world of clay target shooting, the addition of Karen and Gebben Miles sets a new standard of excellence, proving once again that the right partnership can turn skill into legend.
