Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	(1) Organization: We are a leading manufacturer, designer, and provider of consumer products for the shooting, hunting, and rugged outdoor enthusiast. We are one of the largest manufacturers of handguns, modern sporting rifles, and handcuffs in the United States and an active participant in the hunting rifle and suppressor markets. We are also a leading provider of shooting, hunting, and rugged outdoor products and accessories, including knives and cutting tools, sighting lasers, shooting supplies, tree saws, and survival gear. We have two reporting segments: (1) Firearms (which includes the Firearms and Manufacturing Services divisions) and (2) Outdoor Products & Accessories (which includes the Outdoor Products & Accessories and Electro-Optics divisions). In our Firearms segment, we manufacture a wide array of handguns (including revolvers and pistols), long guns (including modern sporting rifles, bolt action rifles, and muzzleloaders), handcuffs, suppressors, and other firearm-related products for sale to a wide variety of customers, including gun enthusiasts, collectors, hunters, sportsmen, competitive shooters, individuals desiring home and personal protection, law enforcement and security agencies and officers, and military agencies in the United States and throughout the world. We sell our firearm products under the Smith & Wesson, M&P, Performance Center, Gemtech, and Thompson/Center Arms brands. We manufacture our firearm products at our facilities in Springfield, Massachusetts; Houlton, Maine; and Deep River, Connecticut. We perform research and development activities for our suppressors and accessories products at our facility in Meridian, Idaho. We also sell our manufacturing services to other businesses under our Smith & Wesson and Smith & Wesson Precision Components brands. In our Outdoor Products & Accessories segment, we design, source, distribute, and manufacture reloading, gunsmithing, and gun cleaning supplies; high-quality stainless steel cutting tools and accessories; flashlights; tree saws and related trimming accessories; shooting supplies, rests, and other related accessories; fishing accessories; apparel; vault accessories; laser grips and laser sights; and a full range of products for survival and emergency preparedness. We sell our products under the Caldwell, Wheeler, Tipton, Frankford Arsenal, Smith & Wesson, M&P, Thompson/Center, Lockdown, Hooyman, BOG-POD, Golden Rod, Non-Typical Wildlife Solutions, Crimson Trace, Imperial, Schrade, Old Timer, Uncle Henry, Bubba Blade, UST, LaserLyte, and KeyGear brands. We develop and market our outdoor products and accessories at our facilities in Columbia, Missouri; Wilsonville, Oregon; and Jacksonville, Florida. During fiscal 2018, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Gemini Technologies, Incorporated, or Gemtech, as well as Bubba Blade branded products and other assets from Fish Tales, LLC, in two separate transactions, which we refer to collectively as the 2018 Acquisitions. See Note 4 – Acquisitions In January 2019, we acquired substantially all of the LaserLyte branded products and other assets, or LaserLyte, from P&L Industries Inc., or P&L Industries, for a purchase price of $2.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, utilizing cash on hand. P&L Industries was a provider of laser training and sighting products for the consumer market. The operations of LaserLyte will be fully integrated into our facility located in Wilsonville, Oregon and reported in our Outdoor Products & Accessories segment. This acquisition did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	(2) Basis of Presentation: Interim Financial Information – The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income and comprehensive (loss)/income for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended January 31, 2019, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared by us without audit. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at January 31, 2019 and for the periods presented, have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2018 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, (Topic 606), which became effective for us on May 1, 2018. Generally, all performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment but could be delayed until the receipt of customer acceptance. In some instances, sales include multiple performance obligations. The most common of these instances relates to sales promotion programs under which customers are entitled to receive free goods based upon their purchase of our products. The fulfillment of these free goods are our responsibility. In such instances, we allocate the revenue of the promotional sales based on the estimated level of participation in the sales promotional program and the timing of the shipment of all of the products included in the promotional program, including the free goods. Revenue is recognized proportionally as each performance obligation is satisfied, based on the relative transaction price of each product. The net change in contract liabilities for a given period is reported as an increase or decrease to sales. Our product sales are generally sold free on board, or FOB, shipping point and provide payment terms to most commercial customers ranging from 20 to 90 days of product shipment with a discount available to some customers for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, the transaction price is determined upon establishment of the contract that contains the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. We estimate variable consideration relative to the amount of cash discounts to which customers are likely to be entitled. In some instances, we provide longer payment terms, particularly as it relates to our hunting dating programs, which represent payment terms due in the fall for certain orders of hunting products received in the spring and summer. We do not consider these extended terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than one year. In all cases, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer. Valuation of Long-lived Tangible and Intangible Assets — We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, or asset groups, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such evaluations indicate that the related future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of the assets, such carrying values are reduced to fair value and this adjusted carrying value becomes the asset’s new cost basis. We determine fair value primarily using future anticipated cash flows that are directly associated with and are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset, or asset group, discounted using an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. We have significant long-lived tangible and intangible assets, which are susceptible to valuation adjustments as a result of changes in various factors or conditions. The most significant long-lived tangible and intangible assets, other than goodwill, are property, plant, and equipment, developed technology, customer relationships, patents, trademarks, and trade names. We amortize all finite-lived intangible assets either on a straight-line basis or based upon patterns in which we expect to utilize the economic benefits of such assets. We initially determine the values of intangible assets by a risk-adjusted, discounted cash flow approach. We assess the potential impairment of identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable and at least annually. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment of such assets, include the following: • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner or use of the assets or the strategy for our overall business; • significant negative industry or economic trends; • a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and • a decline in our market capitalization below net book value. Future adverse changes in these or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment charge that could materially impact future results of operations and financial position in the reporting period identified. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, We estimate the fair value of our Firearms, Outdoor Products & Accessories, and Electro-Optics operating units using an equal weighting of the fair values derived from the income approach and the market approach because we believe a market participant would equally weight both approaches when valuing the operating units. The income approach is based on the projected cash flows that are discounted to their present value using discount rates that consider the timing and risk of the forecasted cash flows. Fair value is estimated using internally developed forecasts and assumptions. The discount rate used is the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics. Other significant assumptions include revenue growth rates, profitability projections, and terminal value growth rates. The market approach estimates fair values based on the determination of appropriate publicly traded market comparison companies and market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from those companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the operating unit being valued. Finally, we compare and reconcile our overall fair value to our market capitalization in order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of our operating units. We recognize an impairment loss for goodwill if the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value. A combination of factors occurring in the firearms industry during the last few years, including changes in the political environment and reduced overall demand for both firearms and the accessories that are attached to firearms, such as laser sights, has resulted in us lowering our long-range sales volume, operating profit, and cash flow forecasts in our Electro-Optics operating unit. Based on those forecasts, we felt it important to seek out efficiencies in that operating unit to increase operating performance and as a result decided to combine our Electro-Optics operating units with our Outdoor Products & Accessories operating unit. The lowered forecasts and the decision to reorganize those operating units caused us to evaluate the fair value of our operating units utilizing those forecasts. Because of that evaluation, we recorded a $10.4 million impairment of goodwill in our Electro-Optics operating unit during the three months ended January 31, 2019. This impairment was recorded in our Outdoor Products & Accessories reporting segment. We evaluated our other operating units and concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount. The remeasurement of goodwill is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment as described in Note 7 - Fair Value Measurement, due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2014-09, (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard on May 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. See Note 3 – below for more information. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers	(3) Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers: On May 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach, and recorded a contract liability, included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, for outstanding performance obligations related to sales promotions. Under the modified retrospective approach, results for reporting periods after May 1, 2018 will be presented in accordance with ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 605, Revenue Recognition Segment Reporting. The following table outlines adjustments we recorded to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (in thousands): Balance at April 30, 2018 Accounting Standard Adjustments Opening Balance May 1, 2018 Accrued expenses and deferred revenue $ 41,632 $ (17,176 ) $ 24,456 Deferred revenue from contracts with customers — 23,305 23,305 Deferred income taxes 12,895 (1,519 ) 11,376 Retained earnings 389,146 (4,610 ) 384,536 At April 30, 2018, we had accrued $17.2 million of sales promotions, representing the cost of free goods earned but not yet shipped to our customers. On adoption of ASU 2014-09, we reversed this accrual and recorded deferred revenue of $23.3 million relating to these outstanding performance obligations, a deferred tax asset of $1.5 million, and a $4.6 million adjustment to reduce the opening balance of retained earnings at May 1, 2018. Deferred revenue is recorded in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The following table outlines the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on revenue recognized during the nine-month period ended January 31, 2019 (in thousands): Outstanding performance obligations with customers as of May 1, 2018 $ 23,305 Revenue recognized (13,998 ) Revenue deferred 4,314 Outstanding performance obligations with customers as of July 31, 2018 13,621 Revenue recognized (12,337 ) Revenue deferred 7,667 Outstanding performance obligations with customers as of October 31, 2018 8,951 Revenue recognized (10,229 ) Revenue deferred 9,064 Outstanding performance obligations with customers as of January 31, 2019 $ 7,786 During the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we recognized $22.6 million of revenue previously deferred as of May 1, 2018 as the performance obligations relating to sales promotions was satisfied. In addition, we deferred $7.1 million during fiscal 2019, net of revenue recognized, as the performance obligations related to sales promotions have not been satisfied, resulting in an outstanding performance obligation liability of $7.8 million that is recorded in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we recognized a $15.5 million net increase of revenue relating to the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We estimate that the majority of the revenue from the outstanding performance obligations as of January 31, 2019 will be recognized during fiscal 2019. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, for the three months ended January 31, 2019, gross margin was unfavorably impacted by 100 basis points and earnings per share was increased by $0.01, and for the nine months ended January 31, 2019, gross margin was unfavorably impacted by 600 basis points and earnings per share was increased by $0.05.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	(4) Acquisitions: 2018 Acquisitions In August 2017, in two separate transactions, we acquired (1) substantially all of the net assets of Gemtech and (2) Bubba Blade branded products and other assets from Fish Tales, LLC. The aggregate purchase price for the two acquisitions was $23.1 million, subject to certain adjustments, for which we utilized a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving line of credit. In connection with the Gemtech acquisition, additional consideration of up to a maximum of $17.1 million may be paid contingent upon the cumulative three-year sales volume of Gemtech products. The valuation of this contingent consideration liability was established in accordance with ASC 805 — Business Combinations The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for the 2018 Acquisitions (in thousands): 2018 Acquisitions Measurement (As Initially Period 2018 Acquisitions Reported) Adjustments (As Adjusted) Accounts receivable $ 846 (86 ) $ 760 Inventories 4,683 (601 ) 4,082 Other current assets 145 (56 ) 89 Property, plant, and equipment 506 13 519 Intangibles 6,400 — 6,400 Goodwill 11,846 708 12,554 Total assets acquired 24,426 (22 ) 24,404 Accounts payable 1,261 (25 ) 1,236 Accrued payroll 49 (1 ) 48 Other long-term liabilities 100 (100 ) — Total liabilities assumed 1,410 (126 ) 1,284 $ 23,016 104 $ 23,120 We amortize intangible assets in proportion to expected annual revenue generated from the intangibles that we acquire.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Notes, Loans Payable, and Financing Arrangements	(6) Notes, Loans Payable, and Financing Arrangements: Credit Facilities – On June 15, 2015, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into an unsecured credit facility, or the Credit Agreement, with TD Bank, N.A. and other lenders, or the Lenders, which included a $175.0 million revolving line of credit, or the Revolving Line, and a $105.0 million term loan, or the Term Loan, of which $82.9 million remained outstanding as of January 31, 2019. The Revolving Line provides for availability for general corporate purposes, with borrowings to bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR or prime plus an applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio, at our election. On October 27, 2016, we entered into a second amendment to our Credit Agreement, or the Second Amendment, which, among other things, increased the Revolving Line to $350.0 million, increased the option to expand the credit commitment to an additional $150.0 million, and extended the maturity of the Revolving Line from June 15, 2020 to October 27, 2021. Other than the changes described in the Second Amendment, we otherwise remain subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as described below. We incurred $525,000 of debt issuance costs related to this amendment and have recorded these costs in notes and loans payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of January 31, 2019, we had $25.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Line, which bore interest at 4.51%, equal to the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. The Term Loan, which bears interest at a variable rate, requires principal payments of $6.3 million per annum plus interest, payable quarterly. Any remaining outstanding amount under the Term Loan on the maturity date of June 15, 2020 will be due in full. We were required to obtain interest rate protection on the Term Loan covering not less than 75% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan. Accordingly, on June 18, 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which expires on June 15, 2020, that covered 100% of the $105.0 million of floating rate debt. On July 6, 2015, we executed an interest rate swap pursuant to such agreement, which requires us to pay interest at a defined rate of 1.56% while receiving interest at a defined variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate. This swap, when combined with the applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio, effectively fixed our interest rate on the Term Loan, which is subject to change based on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. As of January 31, 2019, our interest rate on the Term Loan was 4.46%. As of January 31, 2019, the interest rate swap was considered effective and had no effect on earnings. The fair value of the interest rate swap on January 31, 2019 was an asset of $1.1 million, which was recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We do not expect the interest rate swap to have any material impact on earnings within the next 12 months. 2018 Senior Notes – During fiscal 2015, we issued an aggregate of $75.0 million of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2018, or the 2018 Senior Notes, to various institutional investors pursuant to the terms and conditions of an indenture and purchase agreements. The 2018 Senior Notes bore interest at a rate of 5.000% per annum payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2015. We incurred $2.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes. As discussed below, the 2018 Senior Notes were redeemed on March 8, 2018 with proceeds from the issuance of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2020, or the 2020 Senior Notes. As part of the redemption, in fiscal 2018, we wrote off $226,000 of debt issuance costs related to the 2018 Senior Notes. 2020 Senior Notes – On February 28, 2018, we issued an aggregate of $75.0 million of the 2020 Senior Notes to various institutional investors pursuant to the terms and conditions of an indenture, or the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture, and purchase agreements. The 2020 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.000% per annum payable on February 28 and August 28 of each year, beginning on August 28, 2018. We incurred $158,000 of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes. At any time prior to February 28, 2019, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, redeem all or a portion of the 2020 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 102.500% of the principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the applicable redemption date. On or after February 28, 2019, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, redeem all or a portion of the 2020 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the applicable redemption date. Subject to certain restrictions and conditions, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2020 Senior Notes from the holders of the 2020 Senior Notes in connection with a change of control or disposition of assets. If not redeemed by us or repaid pursuant to the holders’ right to require repurchase, the 2020 Senior Notes mature on August 28, 2020. The 2020 Senior Notes are general, unsecured obligations of our company. The 2020 Senior Notes Indenture contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on restricted payments (such as share repurchases, dividends, and early payment of indebtedness), limitations on indebtedness, limitations on the sale of assets, and limitations on liens. Payments that would otherwise be characterized as restricted payments are permitted under the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture in an amount not to exceed 50% of our consolidated net income for the period from the issue date to the date of the restricted payment, provided that at the time of making such payments, (a) no default has occurred or would result from the making of such payments, and (b) we are able to satisfy the debt incurrence test under the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture, or the 2020 Senior Notes Lifetime Aggregate Limit. In addition, the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture provides for other exceptions to the restricted payments covenant, each of which are independent of the 2020 Senior Notes Lifetime Aggregate Limit. Among such exceptions are (i) the ability to make share repurchases each fiscal year in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) $50.0 million in any fiscal year or (B) 75.0% of our consolidated net income for the previous four consecutive published fiscal quarters prior to the date of the determination of such consolidated net income, and (ii) share repurchases over the life of the 2020 Senior Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. The limitation on indebtedness in the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture is only applicable at such time that the consolidated coverage ratio (as set forth in the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture) for us and our restricted subsidiaries is less than 3.00 to 1.00. In general, as set forth in the 2020 Senior Notes Indenture, the consolidated coverage ratio is determined by comparing our prior four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to our consolidated interest expense. The Credit Agreement for our credit facility contains financial covenants relating to maintaining maximum leverage and minimum debt service coverage. The 2020 Senior Notes Indenture contains a financial covenant relating to times interest earned. Letters of Credit – At January 31, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit aggregating $1.0 million.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	(7) Fair Value Measurement: We follow the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access at the measurement date (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, listed derivatives, and most U.S. Government and agency securities). Our cash and cash equivalents, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, totaled $37.5 million and $48.9 million as of January 31, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively. We utilized Level 1 of the value hierarchy to determine the fair values of these assets. Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets in which trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets. Level 2 inputs include the following: • quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (such as corporate and municipal bonds which trade infrequently); • inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (such as interest rate and currency swaps); and • inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (such as certain securities and derivatives). The carrying value of our Term Loan approximated the fair value as of January 31, 2019 in considering Level 2 inputs within the hierarchy. The carrying value of our 2020 Senior Notes as of January 31, 2019 approximated the fair value in considering Level 2 inputs within the hierarchy as our 2020 Senior Notes are not frequently traded. The fair value of our interest rate swap was estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves, and, therefore, is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. For more information regarding the interest rate swap, refer to Note 6 — Notes, Loans Payable, and Financing Arrangements Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The acquisition-related contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of additional future earn-outs payable for acquisitions of businesses that included earn-out clauses. The valuation of the contingent consideration will be evaluated on an ongoing basis and is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions, which are considered Level 3 inputs. In connection with our acquisition of substantially all the net assets of Ultimate Survival Technologies, Inc. in fiscal 2017, up to an additional $2.0 million could have been paid by us over a period of two years, contingent upon the financial performance of the acquired business. The valuation of this contingent consideration liability was established in accordance with ASC 805 — Business Combinations In connection with the Gemtech acquisition, up to a maximum of $17.1 million may be paid contingent upon the cumulative three-year sales volume of Gemtech products. The valuation of this contingent consideration liability was established in accordance with ASC 805 — Business Combinations See Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

Incentive Stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plans We have two incentive stock plans: the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan. New grants under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan have not been made since the approval of the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan at our September 23, 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. All new grants covering all participants are issued under the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan. Except in specific circumstances, grants vest over a period of three or four years and stock options are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant. The plan also permits the grant of awards to non-employees, which our board of directors has authorized in the past. The number of shares and weighted average exercise prices of stock options for the nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2019 2018 Weighted Weighted Average Average Shares Exercise Price Shares Exercise Price Options outstanding, beginning of year 316,160 $ 6.69 335,160 $ 6.58 Exercised during the period (32,899 ) 6.52 (4,000 ) 5.69 Options outstanding, end of period 283,261 $ 6.71 331,160 $ 6.59 Weighted average remaining contractual life 2.49 years 3.28 years Options exercisable, end of period 283,261 $ 6.71 331,160 $ 6.59 Weighted average remaining contractual life 2.49 years 3.28 years The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of January 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. There were no stock options exercised in the three months ended January 31, 2019. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised in the three months ended January 31, 2018 was $28,600. The We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, in which each participant is granted an option to purchase our common stock on each subsequent exercise date during the offering period (as such terms are defined in the ESPP) in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. During the nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, 107,525 and 81,643 shares were purchased under our ESPP, respectively. The total stock-based compensation expense, including stock options, purchases under our ESPP, RSUs, and performance-based RSUs, or PSUs, was $6.1 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. We grant service-based RSUs to employees and directors. The awards are made at no cost to the recipient. An RSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock and does not carry voting or dividend rights. Except in specific circumstances, RSU grants to employees vest over a period of four years with one-fourth of the units vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. The aggregate fair value of our RSU grants is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. We grant PSUs to our executive officers and certain management employees who are not executive officers. The PSUs vest, and the fair value of such PSUs will be recognized, over the corresponding three-year performance period. During the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we granted an aggregate of 192,085 service-based RSUs, including 142,576 to non-executive officer employees and 49,509 RSUs to our directors. Compensation expense recognized related to grants of RSUs and PSUs was $5.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2019. During the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we cancelled 112,000 PSUs as a result of the performance metric not being met and 25,453 service-based RSUs as a result of the service condition not being met. In connection with the vesting of RSUs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we delivered common stock to our employees and directors, including our executive officers, with a total market value of $2.4 million. During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, we granted an aggregate of 232,672 service-based RSUs, including 189,360 to non-executive officer employees and 43,312 to our directors. In addition, in connection with a 2014 grant of 105,500 PSUs (i.e., the target amount granted), which achieved 115.2% of the targeted award, or the maximum award possible, we vested and delivered awards totaling 121,504 shares to certain of our executive officers. Compensation expense recognized related to grants of RSUs and PSUs was $5.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(10) Income Taxes: Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated effective annual income tax rates and include federal and state income taxes. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted comprehensive tax legislation with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Reform, which made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. Tax Reform significantly revised the corporate federal income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate federal income tax rate, limiting various deductions, and repealing the domestic manufacturing deduction. We expect to see net benefits from the lower federal tax rate, although there are offsetting effects from other components of Tax Reform. Tax Reform reduced the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% generally effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Our U.S. federal statutory tax rate will be 21.0% in fiscal 2019. On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, or SAB118, that provided additional guidance allowing companies to use a measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of Tax Reform in their financial statements. In accordance with SAB 118, to the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform was incomplete, the company was allowed a one-year period after the enactment date of Tax Reform to finalize the recording of the related tax accounting effects. We estimated the impact of Tax Reform, based on currently available information and interpretations of the law, to be a benefit to us of $8.7 million, which was included in our fiscal 2018 tax benefit. The majority of the tax benefit is due to remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at lower enacted corporate federal tax rates, which did not have a cash impact in fiscal 2018. During the three months ended January 31, 2019, we completed our accounting and made no material adjustments to the provisional amounts previously recorded. The income tax provisions represented effective tax rates of -26.3% and -288.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The income tax provisions represented effective tax rates of 46.3% and -240.5% for the nine months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(11) Commitments and Contingencies: Litigation In January 2018, Gemini Technologies, Incorporated, or Gemini, commenced an action against us and Smith & Wesson Corp. in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho, or District Court. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached the earn-out and other provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and ancillary agreements between the parties in connection with Smith & Wesson Corp.’s acquisition of the Gemtech business from Gemini. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment interpreting various terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and damages in the sum of $18.6 million. In May 2018, the District Court dismissed the complaint on the grounds of forum non conveniens. We are a defendant in six product liability cases and are aware of seven other product liability claims, primarily alleging defective product design, defective manufacturing, or failure to provide adequate warnings. In addition, we are a co-defendant in a case filed on August 27, 1999 by the city of Gary, Indiana against numerous firearm manufacturers, distributors, and dealers seeking to recover monetary damages, as well as injunctive relief, allegedly arising out of the misuse of firearms by third parties. In January 2018, the trial court granted defendants’ Motion for Judgement on the Pleadings, dismissing the case in its entirety. In February 2018, plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the Indiana Court of Appeals. In May 2018, we were named in an action related to the Parkland, Florida shooting, filed in the Circuit Court, Broward County, Florida, seeking a declaratory judgement that a Florida statute that provides firearm manufacturers and dealers immunity from liability when their legally manufactured and lawfully sold firearms are later used in criminal acts only applies to civil actions commenced by governmental agencies not private litigants. In August 2018, we moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that it seeks an impermissible advisory opinion. We believe that the various allegations as described above are unfounded, and, in addition, that any incident and any results from them were due to negligence or misuse of the firearm by the claimant or a third party. In addition, from time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including commercial, environmental, and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The relief sought in individual cases primarily includes compensatory and, sometimes, punitive damages. Certain of the cases and claims seek unspecified compensatory or punitive damages. In others, compensatory damages sought may range from less than $75,000 to approximately $350,000. In our experience, initial demands do not generally bear a reasonable relationship to the facts and circumstances of a particular matter. We believe that our accruals for product liability cases and claims, as described below, are a reasonable quantitative measure of the cost to us of product liability cases and claims. We are vigorously defending ourselves in the lawsuits to which we are subject. An unfavorable outcome or prolonged litigation could harm our business. Litigation of this nature also is expensive, time consuming, and diverts the time and attention of our management. We monitor the status of known claims and the related product liability accrual, which includes amounts for defense costs for asserted and unasserted claims. After consultation with litigation counsel and a review of the merit of each claim, we have concluded that we are unable to reasonably estimate the probability or the estimated range of reasonably possible losses related to material adverse judgments related to such claims and, therefore, we have not accrued for any such judgments. In the future, should we determine that a loss (or an additional loss in excess of our accrual) is at least reasonably possible and material, we would then disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate could be made, or disclose that an estimate could not be made. We believe that we have provided adequate accruals for defense costs. We have recorded our liability for defense costs before consideration for reimbursement from insurance carriers. We have also recorded the amount due as reimbursement under existing policies from the insurance carriers as a receivable shown in other current assets and other assets. At this time, an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses relating to unfavorable outcomes cannot be made. Leases In fiscal 2017, we announced a plan to establish a national logistics facility in Boone County, Missouri. We ultimately plan to rely on this logistics facility for substantially all of our product distribution. In fiscal 2018, we broke ground on our new 633,000 square foot facility, which was completed in November 2018 and will become operational over the course of the remainder of the fiscal year. The lease has an effective interest rate of approximately 5.0% and is payable in 240 monthly installments through fiscal 2039. Leases are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 840-10, Leases , which requires that leases be evaluated and classified as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Based on our evaluation under ASC 840-10, we determined that the lease qualified as a capital lease because the net present value of future lease payments exceeded 90% of the fair market value of the leased building. The building is pledged to secure the amounts outstanding. We included $615,000 of short-term capital lease obligation in accrued expenses and $45.6 million in long-term capital lease obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As noted above, we plan to adopt ASU Leases Future minimum lease payments, including all our capital leases, for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and the succeeding fiscal years is as follows (in thousands): Capital Lease Obligation 2019 804 2020 2,965 2021 3,016 2022 3,056 2023 3,072 Thereafter 66,320 Total future minimum lease payments 79,233 Less amounts representing interest (32,993 ) Present value of minimum lease payments 46,240 Less current maturities of capital lease (660 ) Long-term maturities of capital lease $ 45,580 UST Transition In August 2018, we announced a plan to transition our Ultimate Survival Technologies, LLC, or UST, business and operations into our Columbia, Missouri facility. That plan includes (i) closing our Jacksonville, Florida facility as part of our previously announced strategy to consolidate warehousing and logistics operations into the national logistics facility that we are constructing in Missouri and (ii) relocating our Jacksonville-based UST sales, marketing, and research and development activities to Columbia, Missouri. In connection with the integration, we expect to incur restructuring charges of approximately $1.5 million to $2.5 million relating to tangible asset impairment, severance, retention, and relocation beginning in our second quarter of fiscal 2019 and concluding in our first quarter of fiscal 2020, with cash outlays primarily being incurred in our first quarter of fiscal 2020. For the nine months ended January 31, 2019, we have recorded approximately $741,000 of costs associated with this transition.

Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, (Topic 606), which became effective for us on May 1, 2018. Generally, all performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment but could be delayed until the receipt of customer acceptance. In some instances, sales include multiple performance obligations. The most common of these instances relates to sales promotion programs under which customers are entitled to receive free goods based upon their purchase of our products. The fulfillment of these free goods are our responsibility. In such instances, we allocate the revenue of the promotional sales based on the estimated level of participation in the sales promotional program and the timing of the shipment of all of the products included in the promotional program, including the free goods. Revenue is recognized proportionally as each performance obligation is satisfied, based on the relative transaction price of each product. The net change in contract liabilities for a given period is reported as an increase or decrease to sales. Our product sales are generally sold free on board, or FOB, shipping point and provide payment terms to most commercial customers ranging from 20 to 90 days of product shipment with a discount available to some customers for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, the transaction price is determined upon establishment of the contract that contains the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. We estimate variable consideration relative to the amount of cash discounts to which customers are likely to be entitled. In some instances, we provide longer payment terms, particularly as it relates to our hunting dating programs, which represent payment terms due in the fall for certain orders of hunting products received in the spring and summer. We do not consider these extended terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than one year. In all cases, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.
Valuation of Long Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets	Valuation of Long-lived Tangible and Intangible Assets — We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, or asset groups, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such evaluations indicate that the related future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of the assets, such carrying values are reduced to fair value and this adjusted carrying value becomes the asset’s new cost basis. We determine fair value primarily using future anticipated cash flows that are directly associated with and are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset, or asset group, discounted using an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. We have significant long-lived tangible and intangible assets, which are susceptible to valuation adjustments as a result of changes in various factors or conditions. The most significant long-lived tangible and intangible assets, other than goodwill, are property, plant, and equipment, developed technology, customer relationships, patents, trademarks, and trade names. We amortize all finite-lived intangible assets either on a straight-line basis or based upon patterns in which we expect to utilize the economic benefits of such assets. We initially determine the values of intangible assets by a risk-adjusted, discounted cash flow approach. We assess the potential impairment of identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable and at least annually. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment of such assets, include the following: • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner or use of the assets or the strategy for our overall business; • significant negative industry or economic trends; • a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and • a decline in our market capitalization below net book value. Future adverse changes in these or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment charge that could materially impact future results of operations and financial position in the reporting period identified. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, We estimate the fair value of our Firearms, Outdoor Products & Accessories, and Electro-Optics operating units using an equal weighting of the fair values derived from the income approach and the market approach because we believe a market participant would equally weight both approaches when valuing the operating units. The income approach is based on the projected cash flows that are discounted to their present value using discount rates that consider the timing and risk of the forecasted cash flows. Fair value is estimated using internally developed forecasts and assumptions. The discount rate used is the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics. Other significant assumptions include revenue growth rates, profitability projections, and terminal value growth rates. The market approach estimates fair values based on the determination of appropriate publicly traded market comparison companies and market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from those companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the operating unit being valued. Finally, we compare and reconcile our overall fair value to our market capitalization in order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of our operating units. We recognize an impairment loss for goodwill if the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value. A combination of factors occurring in the firearms industry during the last few years, including changes in the political environment and reduced overall demand for both firearms and the accessories that are attached to firearms, such as laser sights, has resulted in us lowering our long-range sales volume, operating profit, and cash flow forecasts in our Electro-Optics operating unit. Based on those forecasts, we felt it important to seek out efficiencies in that operating unit to increase operating performance and as a result decided to combine our Electro-Optics operating units with our Outdoor Products & Accessories operating unit. The lowered forecasts and the decision to reorganize those operating units caused us to evaluate the fair value of our operating units utilizing those forecasts. Because of that evaluation, we recorded a $10.4 million impairment of goodwill in our Electro-Optics operating unit during the three months ended January 31, 2019. This impairment was recorded in our Outdoor Products & Accessories reporting segment. We evaluated our other operating units and concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount. The remeasurement of goodwill is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment as described in Note 7 - Fair Value Measurement, due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2014-09, (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard on May 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. See Note 3 – below for more information. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),

Description of payment terms		Our product sales are generally sold free on board, or FOB, shipping point and provide payment terms to most commercial customers ranging from 20 to 90 days of product shipment with a discount available to some customers for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, the transaction price is determined upon establishment of the contract that contains the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. We estimate variable consideration relative to the amount of cash discounts to which customers are likely to be entitled. In some instances, we provide longer payment terms, particularly as it relates to our hunting dating programs, which represent payment terms due in the fall for certain orders of hunting products received in the spring and summer. We do not consider these extended terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than one year.
