Blaser has announced that Karen and Gebben Miles have joined the company’s global team of competitive clay shooters, with both athletes set to compete using the Blaser FBX platform.

The partnership supports Blaser’s continued focus on the clay target community, particularly in the United States, where both Karen and Gebben are widely recognised as leading figures in Sporting Clays and FITASC.

Based in Isny, Germany, Blaser described the collaboration as an important step in strengthening its connection with elite competitors.

“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

Karen and Gebben bring significant competitive credentials to the partnership. Karen is a three-time World Champion, two-time U.S. Open Champion and a U.S. National Champion. Gebben’s titles include the World FITASC Championship, U.S. National Championship, Nad Al Sheba Champion and three PSCA Tour Championships.

Both athletes highlighted the technical characteristics of the FBX as central to their decision.

“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.”

“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.”

Blaser stated that welcoming Karen and Gebben into the “Blaser Family” reflects its broader ambition to deepen engagement with competitive shooters and continue developing products aimed at high-level performance across international clay target disciplines.
