MBM Donation of the Day: Trigger Tech

Revere’s Riders welcome Trigger Tech, new sponsor of the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events in 2026, who has generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event on July 25, 2026.

Mats Lipowski, a mechanical engineer with 14 patents to his name, was Whitetail hunting with a crossbow when a beautiful buck walked into range. His crossbow’s gritty, creepy, 9lbs trigger caused him to miss a buck broadside at 40 yards. Mats just knew there had to be a better way. After talking it through with long-time friend and fellow mechanical engineer, Greg Baniak, the two set out not just to improve the trigger but to reinvent it. The prototype Zero Creep Trigger was developed in 2012 for an Excalibur Crossbow in Mats’ basement.

For the upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun event, the following Trigger Tech donated product will be featured:

• Trigger Tech 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.
