Organization	(1) Organization: American Outdoor Brands, Inc. and its wholly owned Subsidiaries (our “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an innovation company that provides product solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, including hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, outdoor cooking, and personal security and personal defense products. We conceive, design, source, and sell our outdoor lifestyle products, including premium sportsman knives and tools for fishing and hunting; land management tools for hunting preparedness; harvesting products for post-hunt or post-fishing activities; outdoor cooking products; and camping, survival, and emergency preparedness products. We conceive, design, produce or source, and sell our shooting sports accessories, such as rests, vaults, and other related accessories; electro-optical devices, including hunting optics, firearm aiming devices, flashlights, and laser grips; and reloading, gunsmithing, and firearm cleaning supplies. We develop and market all our products as well as assemble some of our electro-optics products at our facility in Columbia, Missouri. We also contract for the manufacture and assembly of most of our products with third parties located in Asia. We focus on our brands and the establishment of product categories in which we believe our brands will resonate strongly with the activities and passions of consumers and enable us to capture an increasing share of our overall addressable markets. Our owned brands include BOG, BUBBA, Caldwell, Crimson Trace, Frankford Arsenal, Grilla Grills, or Grilla, Hooyman, Imperial, LaserLyte, Lockdown, MEAT! Your Maker, Old Timer, Schrade, Tipton, Uncle Henry, ust, and Wheeler, and we license additional brands for use in association with certain products we sell, including M&P, Smith & Wesson, Performance Center by Smith & Wesson, and Thompson/Center. In focusing on the growth of our brands, our marketing, product development, and e-commerce teams focus on supporting our four brand lanes, each of which focuses on one of four distinct consumer verticals – Adventurer, Harvester, Marksman, and Defender – with each of our brands included in one of the brand lanes. • Our Adventurer brands include products that help enhance consumers’ fishing, outdoor cooking, and camping experiences. • Our Harvester brands focus on the activities hunters typically engage in, including the activities to prepare for the hunt, the hunt itself, and the activities that follow a hunt, such as meat processing. • Our Marksman brands address product needs arising from consumer activities that take place primarily at the shooting range and where firearms are cleaned, maintained, and worked on. • Our Defender brands focus on protection and include products that are used by consumers in situations that require self-defense for training and for securing high value or high consequence possessions.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	(2) Basis of Presentation: Interim Financial Information Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain disclosures and other financial information that normally are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. Our accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. We are responsible for the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, which are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025, our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue for the sale of our products at the point in time when the control of ownership has transferred to the customer. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the customer has (i) a payment obligation, (ii) physical possession of goods has been received, (iii) legal title to goods has passed, (iv) risks and rewards of ownership of goods has passed to the customer, and (v) the customer has accepted the goods. The timing of revenue recognition occurs either on shipment or delivery of goods based on contractual terms with the customer, as this is when transfer of control occurs and the customer accepts the product, has title and significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product, and physical possession of the product has been transferred. Revenue recorded excludes sales tax charged to retail customers as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. The duration of contractual arrangements with customers in our wholesale channels is typically less than one year. Payment terms with customers are typically between 20 and 90 days , with a discount available in certain cases for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, we determine the transaction price 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. We have elected to treat all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and recognize the costs as distribution expenses at the time we recognize the related revenue. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales. We sponsor direct-to-consumer customer loyalty programs. Customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities. We defer revenue for a portion of the transaction price from product sales to customers that earn loyalty points. The amount of revenue we recognize reflects the expected consideration to be received for providing the goods or services to customers, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration includes allowances for trade term discounts, sales volume incentives, chargebacks, and product returns. Estimates of variable consideration are determined at contract inception and are constrained to the extent that inclusion of such variable consideration could result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue in future periods. We apply the portfolio approach as a practical expedient and utilize the expected value method in determining estimates of variable consideration, based on evaluations of specific product and customer circumstances, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions. We have co-op advertising program expense, which we record within advertising expense, in recognition of a distinct service that we receive from our customers at the retail level. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table sets forth certain information regarding trade channel net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands): 2025 2024 $ Change % Change e-commerce channels net sales $ 27,234 $ 24,881 $ 2,353 9.5 % Traditional channels net sales 31,271 28,544 2,727 9.6 % Total net sales $ 58,505 $ 53,425 $ 5,080 9.5 % Our e-commerce channels include net sales from customers that do not traditionally operate a physical brick-and-mortar store, but generate the majority of their revenue from consumer purchases at their retail websites. Our e-commerce channels also include our direct-to-consumer sales. Our traditional channels include customers that operate primarily out of physical brick and mortar stores and generate the large majority of their revenue from consumer purchases at their brick-and-mortar locations.

ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and should be applied prospectively, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to (1) disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective rate reconciliation and (2) provide information on income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	(3) Leases: We lease real estate, as well as other equipment, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. We recognize expenses under our operating lease assets and liabilities at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease terms. Our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. We use our incremental borrowing rate consistent with our revolving line of credit based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the discount rate for the present value of lease payments. Our lease agreements do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, or restrictive covenants. For operating leases, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We record tenant improvement allowances as an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of the respective right-of-use asset. Many of our leases include renewal options that can extend the lease term. These renewal options are at our sole discretion and are reflected in the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The amounts of assets and liabilities related to our operating leases as of January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024 are as follows (in thousands): January 31, 2025 April 30, 2024 Operating Leases Right-of-use assets $ 37,474 $ 37,540 Accumulated amortization ( 5,146 ) ( 3,976 ) Right-of-use assets, net $ 32,328 $ 33,564 Lease liabilities, current portion $ 1,343 $ 1,331 Lease liabilities, net of current portion 32,299 33,289 Total operating lease liabilities $ 33,642 $ 34,620 For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, we recorded $ 1.0 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively, of operating lease costs, of which $ 2,000 , respectively, were short-term operating lease costs. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024, we recorded $ 868,000 and $ 2.5 million, respectively, of operating lease costs, of which $ 2,000 and $ 9,000 were short-term operating lease costs. As of January 31, 2025, our weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our operating leases were 14.0 years and 6.0 %, respectively. As of April 30, 2024, our weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our operating leases were 14.6 years and 6.0 %, respectively. The operating lease costs, weighted average lease term, and weighted average discount rate, are primarily driven by the lease of our corporate office and warehouse facility in Columbia, Missouri through fiscal 2039. The depreciable lives of right-of-use assets are limited by the lease term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Future lease payments for all our operating leases for the remainder of fiscal 2025 and for succeeding fiscal years, as of January 31, 2025, are as follows (in thousands): Operating 2025 $ 848 2026 3,360 2027 3,399 2028 3,450 2029 3,510 2030 3,581 Thereafter 32,452 Total future lease payments 50,600 Less amounts representing interest ( 16,958 ) Present value of lease payments 33,642 Less current maturities of lease liabilities ( 1,343 ) Long-term maturities of lease liabilities $ 32,299 The cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of liabilities and the operating cash flows was $ 978,000 and $ 724,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	(5) Fair Value Measurement: We follow the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic , or ASC 820-10, for our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 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 $ 17.1 million as of January 31, 2025 and $ 29.7 million as of April 30, 2024 and would be the maximum amount of loss subject to credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at fair value based on market prices for identical assets in active markets, and therefore classified as Level 1 of the value hierarchy. 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). 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. We do no t have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024.

These deposits on our inventory vary by supplier and range from 30 % to 100 %. As of January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024, we have recorded $ 661,000 and $ 4.3 million, respectively, of inventory on deposit in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	(7) Debt: On August 24, 2020, we entered into a financing arrangement consisting of a $ 50.0 million revolving line of credit secured by substantially all our assets, maturing five years from the closing date, with available borrowings determined by a borrowing base calculation. The revolving line included an option to increase the credit commitment by an additional $ 15 million. The revolving line bore interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the Base Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, plus the applicable margin. On March 25, 2022, we amended our secured loan and security agreement, or the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, increasing the revolving line of credit to $ 75 million, secured by substantially all our assets, maturing in March 2027 , with available borrowings determined by a borrowing base calculation. The amendment also includes an option to increase the credit commitment by an additional $ 15 million. The amended revolving line bears interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the Base Rate or Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, as applicable, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin can range from a minimum of 0.25 % to a maximum of 1.75 % based on certain conditions as defined in the Amended Loan and Security Agreement. The financing arrangement contains covenants relating to minimum debt service coverage. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we borrowed $ 7.0 million on our revolving line of credit for general business purposes. Also, during the three months ended January 31, 2025, we paid in full, the $ 7.0 million of borrowings utilizing cash on hand. As of January 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit. If we would have had borrowings at January 31, 2025, those borrowings would have borne interest at approximately 5.88 %, which is equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin. As of January 31, 2025, we have irrevocable standby letters of credit totaling $ 3.3 million to collateralize duty drawback bonds. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, no amounts have been drawn on the letter of credit.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	(8) Equity: Treasury Stock On October 2, 2023 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $ 10.0 million of our common stock, subject to certain conditions, in the open market, in block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions. This authorization expired on September 30, 2024 . On September 25, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a program to purchase up to $ 10.0 million of our common stock, subject to certain conditions, in the open market, in block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, commencing on October 1, 2024 and executable through September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, under these authorizations, we repurchased 117,090 and 270,587 shares, respectively, of our common stock for $ 1.2 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively, utilizing cash on hand. Earnings per Share We compute diluted earnings per share by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. All of our outstanding RSUs were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025. The following table provides a reconciliation of the net income amounts and weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended January 31, 2025 2024 Net Per Share Net Per Share Income Shares Amount Income Shares Amount Basic earnings/(loss) $ 169 12,764 $ 0.01 $ ( 2,910 ) 12,883 $ ( 0.23 ) Effect of dilutive stock awards — 360 — — — — Diluted earnings/(loss) $ 169 13,124 $ 0.01 $ ( 2,910 ) 12,883 $ ( 0.23 ) The following table provides a reconciliation of the net income amounts and weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data): For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2025 2024 Net Per Share Net Per Share Income Shares Amount Loss Shares Amount Basic earnings/(loss) $ 915 12,830 $ 0.07 $ ( 6,946 ) 13,030 $ ( 0.53 ) Effect of dilutive stock awards — 385 — — — — Diluted earnings/(loss) $ 915 13,215 $ 0.07 $ ( 6,946 ) 13,030 $ ( 0.53 ) Due to the loss from operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024, there are no common shares added to calculate dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Incentive Stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plans We have a stock incentive plan, or 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, under which we can grant new awards to our employees and directors. We grant 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 generally vest over a period of three or four years with one-third or one-fourth of the units vesting on each anniversary of the grant date, respectively. We amortize the aggregate fair value of our RSU grants to compensation expense over the vesting period. Awards that do not vest are forfeited. We grant PSUs to our executive officers and certain other employees from time to time. At the time of grant, we calculate the fair value of our PSUs using the Monte-Carlo simulation. We incorporate the following variables into the valuation model: For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2025 2024 Grant date fair market value American Outdoor Brands, Inc. $ 7.89 $ 8.79 Russell 2000 Index $ 1,980.23 $ 1,769.21 Volatility (a) American Outdoor Brands, Inc. 48.15 % 45.53 % Russell 2000 Index 22.98 % 27.08 % Correlation coefficient (b) 0.37 0.48 Risk-free interest rate (c) 4.73 % 3.81 % Dividend yield (d) 0 % 0 % (a) Expected volatility is calculated based on a peer group over the most recent period that represents the remaining term of the performance period as of the valuation date, or three years . (b) The correlation coefficient utilizes the same historical price data used to develop the volatility assumptions. (c) The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill, commensurate with the three-year performance period. (d) We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The PSUs vest, and the fair value of such PSUs will be recognized, over the corresponding three-year performance period. Our PSUs have a maximum aggregate award equal to 200 % of the target unit amount granted. Generally, the number of PSUs that may be earned depends upon the total stockholder return, or TSR, of our common stock compared with the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index, or the RUT, over the three-year performance period. For PSUs, our stock must outperform the RUT by 5 % in order for the target award to vest. In addition, there is a cap on the number of shares that can be earned under our PSUs, which is equal to six times the grant-date value of each award. During the nine months ended January 31, 2025, we granted an aggregate of 98,412 PSUs to our executive officers. We also granted 278,764 RSUs during the nine months ended January 31, 2025, including 98,412 RSUs to executive officers and 180,352 to non-executive officer employees and directors under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan. During the nine months ended January 31, 2025, 23,987 PSUs were cancelled , at target, as a result of the performance condition not being met, and 23,732 RSUs were cancelled as a result of the service condition not being met. In connection with the vesting of RSUs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2025, we delivered common stock to our employees, including our executive officers, and directors with a total market value of $ 2.0 million. During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, we granted an aggregate of 75,894 PSUs to our executive officers. We also granted 318,947 RSUs during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, including 103,118 RSUs to executive officers and 215,829 to non-executive officer employees and directors under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan. During the nine months ended January 31, 2024, 79,131 PSUs were cancelled, at target, as a result of the performance condition not being met, and 22,201 RSUs were cancelled as a result of the service condition not being met. In connection with the vesting of RSUs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2024, we delivered common stock to our employees, including our executive officers, and directors with a total market value of $ 1.3 million. We recognized $ 887,000 and $ 1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized $ 2.7 million and $ 3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We include stock-based compensation expense in the cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. A summary of activity for unvested RSUs and PSUs under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows: For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2025 2024 Weighted Weighted Total # of Average Total # of Average Restricted Grant Date Restricted Grant Date Stock Units Fair Value Stock Units Fair Value RSUs and PSUs outstanding, beginning of period 624,093 $ 11.27 560,579 $ 13.36 Awarded 377,176 8.40 395,384 8.69 Vested ( 226,535 ) 10.59 ( 174,415 ) 11.86 Forfeited ( 46,669 ) 19.70 ( 116,555 ) 12.58 RSUs and PSUs outstanding, end of period 728,065 $ 9.48 664,993 $ 11.16 As of January 31, 2025, there was $ 2.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and PSUs. We expect to recognize this expense over a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.3 years. We have an employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, which authorizes the sale of up to 419,253 shares of our common stock to employees. All options and rights to participate in our ESPP are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture in accordance with our ESPP guidelines. Our current ESPP will be implemented in a series of successive offering periods, each with a maximum duration of 12 months. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of a 12-month offering period, then that offering period will automatically terminate and a new 12-month offering period will begin on the next business day. Each offering period will begin on April 1 or October 1, as applicable, immediately following the end of the previous offering period. Payroll deductions will be on an after-tax basis, in an amount of not less than 1 % and not more than 20 % (or such greater percentage as the committee appointed to administer our ESPP may establish from time to time before the first day of an offering period) of a participant’s compensation on each payroll date. The option exercise price per share will equal 85 % of the lower of the fair market value on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value on the exercise date. The maximum number of shares that a participant may purchase during any purchase period is the greater of 2,500 shares, or a total of $ 25,000 in shares, based on the fair market value on the first day of the offering period. Our ESPP will remain in effect until the earliest of (a) the exercise date that participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares greater than the number of reserved shares available for purchase under our ESPP, (b) such date as is determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion, or (c) the tenth anniversary of the effective date. In the event of certain corporate transactions, each option outstanding under our ESPP will be assumed or an equivalent option will be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. During the nine months ended January 31, 2025, 38,957 shares were purchased by our employees under our ESPP. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. We amortize the fair value of the award over the vesting period of the option. Under ESPP, fair value is determined at the beginning of the purchase period and amortized over the term of each exercise period. For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2025 2024 Risk-free interest rate 3.98 % 5.46 % - 5.53 % Expected term 6 months 6 months - 12 months Expected volatility 40.7 % 43.2 % - 48.9 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 %

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(11) Commitments and Contingencies: Litigation From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including those relating to product liability, intellectual property, commercial relationships, employment issues, and governmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not incur any material expenses in defense and administrative costs relative to product liability litigation. In addition, we did not incur any settlement fees related to product liability cases in those fiscal years. Gain Contingency In 2018, the United States imposed additional section 301 tariffs of up to 25 % on certain goods imported from China. These additional section 301 tariffs apply to our sourced products from China and have added additional cost to us. We are utilizing the duty drawback mechanism to offset some of the direct impact of these tariffs, specifically on goods that we sold internationally. We are accounting for duty drawbacks as a gain contingency and may record any such gain from a reimbursement in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	(12) Segment Reporting: We have evaluated our operations under ASC 280-10-50-1 – Segment Reporting and have concluded that we are operating as one segment based on several key factors, including the reporting and review process used by the chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer , who reviews only consolidated financial information and makes decisions to allocate resources based on those financial statements. We analyze revenue streams in various ways, including customer group, brands, product categories, and customer channels. However, this information does not include a full set of discrete financial information. In addition, although we currently sell our products under 21 distinct brands that are organized into four brand lanes and include specific product sales that have identified revenue streams, these brand lanes are focused almost entirely on product development and marketing activities and do not qualify as separate reporting units under ASC 280-10-50-1. Other sales and customer focused activities, operating activities, and administrative activities are not divided by brand lane and, therefore, expenses related to each brand lane are not accumulated or reviewed individually. Our business is evaluated based upon a number of financial and operating measures, including sales, gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses, and operating margin. Our business includes our outdoor products and accessories products as well as our electro-optics products, which we develop, source, market, assemble, and distribute from our facility in Columbia, Missouri. We report operating costs based on the activities performed.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Interim Financial Information	Interim Financial Information Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain disclosures and other financial information that normally are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. Our accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. We are responsible for the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, which are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025, our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue for the sale of our products at the point in time when the control of ownership has transferred to the customer. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the customer has (i) a payment obligation, (ii) physical possession of goods has been received, (iii) legal title to goods has passed, (iv) risks and rewards of ownership of goods has passed to the customer, and (v) the customer has accepted the goods. The timing of revenue recognition occurs either on shipment or delivery of goods based on contractual terms with the customer, as this is when transfer of control occurs and the customer accepts the product, has title and significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product, and physical possession of the product has been transferred. Revenue recorded excludes sales tax charged to retail customers as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. The duration of contractual arrangements with customers in our wholesale channels is typically less than one year. Payment terms with customers are typically between 20 and 90 days , with a discount available in certain cases for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, we determine the transaction price 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. We have elected to treat all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and recognize the costs as distribution expenses at the time we recognize the related revenue. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales. We sponsor direct-to-consumer customer loyalty programs. Customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities. We defer revenue for a portion of the transaction price from product sales to customers that earn loyalty points. The amount of revenue we recognize reflects the expected consideration to be received for providing the goods or services to customers, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration includes allowances for trade term discounts, sales volume incentives, chargebacks, and product returns. Estimates of variable consideration are determined at contract inception and are constrained to the extent that inclusion of such variable consideration could result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue in future periods. We apply the portfolio approach as a practical expedient and utilize the expected value method in determining estimates of variable consideration, based on evaluations of specific product and customer circumstances, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions. We have co-op advertising program expense, which we record within advertising expense, in recognition of a distinct service that we receive from our customers at the retail level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03), which requires disaggregation disclosures on an annual or interim basis, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the statement of operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and should be applied prospectively, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to (1) disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective rate reconciliation and (2) provide information on income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.
