Kitanica, 5 year sponsor of the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events, has again generously donated to our upcoming Marty Brown Memorial Open™ IN Rifle & Pistol event on Sept. 5-6, 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™IN Rifle & Pistol event, the following Kitanica donated product will be featured:
- Kitanica Vespid backpack (on the left in below photo)

The Marty Brown Memorial Open™ IN Rifle & Pistol will be suitable for firearms enthusiasts ranging in experience from beginner to expert; the event will generally follow the Basic Rifle and Basic Pistol courses of instruction with some drills omitted to fit into a single day and to allow for fundraising at various points. Lunch will be included.

If you can’t make this event, then join us for another of our upcoming events:
