MBM Donation of the Day: Criterion
Criterion Barrels has generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event on July 25, 2026.
Criterion began in 1999 with a single OEM client in need of a economical, high volume option to cut rifled barrels. Criterion President, Steve Dahlke, partnered with John Krieger to establish a button rifling process capable of match grade performance. It was a success. To date, Criterion’s button rifled barrels have set numerous National Records and can shoot with the best across multiple disciplines.
For the upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event, the following Criterion Barrels donated product will be featured:
- Criterion Barrels Gift Card
The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event will be our inaugural “defensive/tactical” style event for the Marty Brown Memorial™ series. Brad Hammack (US Army, retired) will be the event instructor as he has been for most of our past defensive/tactical style events. To get a feel for what this event will involve, check out the event listing for details on the COI/COF as well as the below two photo galleries from prior Revere’s Riders defensive/tactical events that Brad has run:
- Basic Defensive Rifle (June 21, 2025 [Seelyville, IN])
- Intermediate Defensive Rifle (June 22, 2025 [Seelyville, IN])
The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun won’t be an introductory event; it is recommended that you have previously taken the Revere’s Riders Basic Defensive Rifle course or the equivalent elsewhere. This event will also involve some moderate physical exertion (like the optional skills contest which involves carrying/dragging a 150lb sand monkey), so you will need to be reasonably physically fit as well.
If you can’t make this event, then join us for another of our upcoming events:
