From a B&P press release:
B&P Pro Team shooters Gebben and Karen Miles delivered a commanding series of performances at the inaugural NSCA/CPSA World Super Sporting Championship, held September 3–6 at Northbrook Sports Club in Hainesville, Illinois.
Headlining the weekend, Gebben Miles captured High Overall (HOA) honors in the 200-target World Super Sporting Championship, breaking 186 of 200 targets to become the inaugural champion. Gebben added another victory during the weekend by claiming HOA in the Village Prelim Sporting event, completing an exceptional showing against a field of elite sporting clays competitors.
Karen Miles delivered an equally impressive championship performance. She captured the Ladies Championship in the World Super Sporting Championship while finishing fourth overall among the entire field, an accomplishment that placed her among the very best competitors at the inaugural event.
Her success carried over to the Northbrook Cup FITASC, where Karen once again claimed the Ladies Championship and finished fourth overall, giving her two Ladies titles and two top-five overall finishes during the championship weekend.
"Gebben and Karen continue to demonstrate why they are such tremendous representatives of B&P and two of the most accomplished competitors in the shooting sports," said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing for B&P USA. "Winning at this level requires much more than talent. It takes preparation, consistency and the ability to perform when every target matters. For Gebben to earn the inaugural World Super Sporting HOA title and for Karen to capture two Ladies Championships while finishing fourth overall in both major events is an incredible accomplishment. We couldn't be prouder of them and the way they represent B&P."
The inaugural World Super Sporting Championship brought together the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) and the United Kingdom's Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) to establish a new international championship for the Super Sporting discipline. The 200-target championship challenged competitors across three courses over three days at Northbrook Sports Club, placing a premium on target reading, adaptability and consistency across a wide variety of presentations.
For Gebben, becoming the inaugural World Super Sporting HOA Champion adds another significant title to an already extensive competitive résumé.
"It was an absolute honor to become the inaugural World Super Sporting Champion!" said Gebben Miles. "Brett & Cliff Seibert, Tristan Stubbs and the whole Northbrook crew hosted one of the most fun events I have ever shot in. The targets were spectacular. They threw everything at us. It was so much fun feeling my game come together and compete at the highest level! Thank you to B&P and the rest of my sponsors for allowing me to compete weekend and week out."
Karen's performance was equally significant. In addition to capturing both Ladies Championships, her fourth-place overall finishes in World Super Sporting and the Northbrook Cup FITASC demonstrated her ability to compete at the very top of the entire field across two distinctly different clay target disciplines.
"The World Super Sporting and the 200 target Fitasc event that Northbrook threw was fantastic!" said Karen Miles. "What a blessing to be able to compete on targets of the highest caliber with the best ammunition in my Competition Ones! It's an honor to be the inaugural Ladies World Super Sporting Champion."
Together, Gebben and Karen left Northbrook with four championship victories, including the inaugural World Super Sporting HOA and Ladies titles, the Northbrook Cup FITASC Ladies Championship and Village Prelim Sporting HOA.
Their performances provided a fitting showcase for B&P on one of competitive shooting's newest world championship stages and continued the brand's longstanding commitment to supporting competitors at the highest levels of the shooting sports.
