Isny, Germany – December 28, 2025 – Blaser is proud to announce a new partnership with two of the most respected names in competitive clay shooting: Karen and Gebben Miles. Both athletes will, going forward, compete with the Blaser FBX, further strengthening Blaser’s commitment to top‑tier clay target sports in the United States and beyond.
A Legacy of Competitive Excellence
Karen and Gebben Miles are two of the most skilled and consistent competitors in Sporting Clays and FITASC in the world. With multiple national and international titles, championship podium finishes, and a reputation for technical mastery, they have become standouts in the global shooting community. Karen is a 3x World Champion, 2x U.S. Open Champion, and the US National Champion. Gebben’s major accomplishments have been the World FITASC Championship, U.S. National Championship, Nad Al Sheba Champion and 3x PSCA Tour Champion.
A Perfect Match: The Miles’ and Blaser
The decision to transition to the Blaser FBX was driven by a shared commitment to uncompromising performance. The FBX’s balance, handling characteristics, recoil management, and precision engineering align seamlessly with the standards Karen and Gebben demand in a competition shotgun. Blaser and the Miles’ also share a similar philosophy: a drive for constant progress, meticulous craftsmanship, and elevating the sport through excellence. This alignment makes the partnership a natural and exciting step for both sides.
With Karen and Gebben joining the Blaser Family, the brand continues to deepen its engagement with the competitive shooting community in the United States and strengthen its position as a leader in high‑performance sport shotguns.
Statements
“We are truly excited that Karen and Gebben have chosen to shoot the FBX moving forward. Their achievements, their passion for excellence, and their dedication to succeed make them a perfect fit for Blaser. We are proud to welcome them into the Blaser Family.”
— Christian Socher, CEO, Blaser GmbH
“What impressed us most about the FBX is its thoughtful design — the slim profile up front combined with a fuller rear section creates a balance we immediately connected with. That weight distribution between the hands, along with the ability to fine‑tune both barrel and stock, shows how much intention went into this shotgun. Blaser clearly focused on comfort, balance, and reducing recoil, all of which are crucial for keeping shooters confident and in control. For us, those elements come together as the perfect combination in the FBX.”
— Karen Miles
“From the linear recoil to the excellent overall balance and the beautifully executed receiver that blends round‑body and fat‑body elements. 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.”
— Gebben Miles
