MBM Donation of the Day: Kitanica
Kitanica, founding sponsor of the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events, has generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event on July 25, 2026.
Kitanica was originally formed in Brooklyn, NY in 1995 and moved to San Francisco in 1997. There, Adam Savage of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters started wearing his Kitanica MARK IV on national television, and the world became aware of the remarkably distinctive utilitarian products Kitanica was producing. Kitanica gear is crafted to endure, reflecting a commitment to performance and sustainability.
For the upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event, the following Kitanica 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:
