Exhibit 10.3

1.         The Grant. Vista Outdoor Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to you, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in the Vista Outdoor Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an Award as of the date (the “Grant Date”) and for the number of shares (the “Restricted Stock”) of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), which the Company or its agent provided to you separately in writing through an electronic notice and on-line award acceptance web page (the “Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance”). For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”) set forth in Appendix B are incorporated by reference to this Agreement.  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including those defined in Appendix A hereto), to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

2.         Restricted Period. The Restricted Stock is subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and the Plan for a period (such period during which restrictions apply to the Restricted Stock is the “Restricted Period”) commencing on the Grant Date and ending,   in respect of [    ] of the Restricted Stock, on each of the [ ],  [ ] and [  ] anniversaries of [the Grant Date] or, if earlier, upon (a) a Change in Control, as provided in Paragraph 4 below, (b) your death, Disability (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), or termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), as provided in Paragraph 5 below, or (c) as otherwise provided in an individual employment agreement between you and the Company (an “Employment Agreement”) or determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion.

3.         Restrictions. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following restrictions during the applicable Restricted Period:

(a) The Restricted Stock shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

(b) You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock during the applicable Restricted Period. Neither the right to receive the Restricted Stock nor any interest under the Plan may be transferred by you, and any attempted transfer shall be void.

(c) The Company shall issue the Restricted Stock in your name, either by book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. The Restricted Stock shall be restricted from transfer and shall be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order. If any certificate is issued, the certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock. If any certificate is issued, you shall be required to execute and deliver to the Company a stock power relating to the Restricted Stock as a condition to the receipt of this Award.  Upon the vesting of your rights with respect to the Restricted Stock, any stop-transfer order or legend shall be removed from the book-entry credits or certificates evidencing the Shares.

(d) Any securities or property (other than cash, which shall be paid to you at the same time as other stockholders) that may be issued with respect to the Restricted Stock as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, business combination or other event shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

(e) You shall not be entitled to receive any Restricted Stock prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any federal or state law or governmental rule or regulation that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable.

4.         Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement) prior to the end of the applicable Restricted Period, any outstanding Restricted Stock shall remain outstanding and shall continue to be subject to restrictions in accordance with its terms, without regard to the occurrence of such Change in Control; provided, however, that if  the continuing or surviving company following such Change in Control does not assume or substitute outstanding Restricted Stock for a substantially equivalent award (including, without limitation, with respect to vesting schedule and intrinsic value as of the Change in Control), as determined by the Committee, the restrictions with respect to any outstanding unvested Restricted Stock shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control. If, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason, then the restrictions with respect to any outstanding unvested Restricted Stock shall, subject to Paragraph 17, lapse on the 60th day following such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are or become a participant in the Company’s Income Security Plan or any successor or substitute plan (the “ISP”) or if you are a party to an Employment Agreement, the terms of vesting of the Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control shall be governed by the provisions of the ISP or your Employment Agreement, as applicable.

5.         Forfeiture. In the event of your termination of employment, other than by reason of death, Disability or a termination by the Company without Cause, prior to the end of the applicable Restricted Period, your rights to any outstanding unvested Restricted Stock shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. In the event of your termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or a termination by the Company without Cause, in each case, prior to the end of the applicable Restricted Period, the restrictions with respect to any outstanding unvested Restricted Stock that would have vested had you remained employed for 12 months following such termination of employment shall lapse on the 60th day following such termination of employment, subject, solely in the event of a termination without Cause, to Paragraph 17. Your rights to any Restricted Stock that does not vest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited as of the date of such termination of employment.

6.         Recoupment.  The Committee reserves the right to recoup the Award, or the value of the Award, from you in the event (a) there is a material restatement of the Company’s financial results or (b) you violate any of the Restrictive Covenants. If the Committee determines a recoupment is appropriate in the exercise of its discretion, considering all the facts and circumstances, you shall forfeit

and pay back such portion, or all, of the outstanding or previously awarded Awards as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

7.         Holding Requirement.  If you are an executive officer of the Company, you are generally subject to the Vista Outdoor Inc. Stock Holding Policy for Officers, and you will be required to retain at least 50% of the net number of Shares in which you vest under the terms of this Agreement until you cease to be an executive officer of the Company. See the Vista Outdoor Inc. Stock Holding Policy for Officers for additional information.

8.         Rights.  Upon issuance of the Restricted Stock, you shall, subject to the restrictions of this Agreement and the Plan, have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and receive any cash dividends and any other distributions thereon, unless and until you forfeit the Restricted Stock.

9.         Income Taxes. You are liable for any federal, state and local income or other taxes applicable upon the grant of the Restricted Stock, the vesting of the Restricted Stock or subsequent disposition of the Shares, and you acknowledge that you should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Company will pay your required minimum statutory withholding taxes by withholding vested shares of Restricted Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. Alternatively, if you notify the Company prior to the vesting date of the Restricted Stock, you may elect to pay all or a portion of the minimum statutory withholding taxes by (a) delivering to the Company Shares other than the Restricted Stock vesting pursuant to this Agreement with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (b) paying cash, provided that if you do not deliver such Shares or cash to the Company by the second business day after the vesting date of the Restricted Stock, the Company will pay your required minimum statutory withholding taxes by withholding vested shares of Restricted Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes.

10.  Acknowledgement. This Award shall not be effective until you (a) agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants) and the Plan, and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the summary prospectus relating to the Plan, by accepting this Award in writing or electronically as specified by the Company or its agent in the Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance, and (b) if the Company requests it, execute and deliver the stock power required by Paragraph 3 above.

15.  The Plan/Conflicts. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, all the terms of which are hereby incorporated in this Agreement.
