MBM Donation of the Day: CRKT
CRKT has generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event on July 25, 2026.
For three decades, Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) has relentlessly pursued what’s next. Always exploring, experimenting, and pushing the envelope. It’s an endless collaboration with our designers. A constant questioning—“What if you could make a stronger, safer lock?” “Wouldn’t it be cool to revolutionize the way a folding knife deploys? “Why not make our innovations available to all our designers to cross-pollinate ideas?” CRKT’s curiosity has made all the difference for industry leading innovations like the Field Strip, Deadbolt, Kinematic, and iconic designs like M16, Minimalist, and Pilar.
For the upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event, the following CRKT donated products will be featured:
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:
