Mr. Christopher Metz

Boynton Beach, FL 33436

Dear Chris:

Congratulations! Vista Outdoor Inc. (“Vista Outdoor” or “the Company”) is pleased to offer you the full-time position of Chief Executive Officer and a non-independent Board member, subject to formal approval by the Vista Outdoor Board of Directors. As CEO, you will be responsible for day-to-day operations of the Company and the entire brand portfolio, reporting directly to the Board of Directors.

Your compensation package includes a base salary annualized at $1,000,000 per year, less applicable deductions and withholdings. Your cash bonus will total a guaranteed 100% of your base salary for your first full year of service, payable in two installments across the current fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2018) and next fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2019). For the Company’s Fiscal Year 2018 bonus payout, you will receive half of the guaranteed bonus, totaling $500,000. For Fiscal Year 2019 (commencing April 1, 2018), you will participate in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) with a target of 100% of your base salary. The payment in Fiscal 2019 will equal the guaranteed minimum of $500,000 (the second half of your Year One bonus), plus the differential between the minimum payment and the total of the earned AIP, if the AIP is greater than $500,000. However, you are not entitled to the minimum payment and the total AIP amount earned. For Fiscal Year 2020, you will participate only in the Company’s AIP, at which time the Board of Directors will set a target bonus and maximum bonus potential. The percentage of your base salary used to calculate your target and maximum bonus potential will be determined by the Board as part of the Company’s annual planning process. This bonus is not guaranteed and will be provided based on fiscal year end results of the Company's financial performance and your individual performance. The annual bonus opportunity will be subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Vista Outdoor Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Bonuses are paid within 2 ½ months after the end of the Vista Outdoor fiscal year (by June 15th).

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2019, you will be eligible to participate in the Vista Outdoor executive long-term incentive (LTI) compensation program, which is intended to deliver compensation tied to long-term performance of Vista Outdoor. The design of this program is approved annually by the Compensation Committee of the Vista Outdoor Board of Directors in its sole discretion and may include a mix of both Vista Outdoor common stock and cash. Your initial LTI grant includes the following:

A total value of $3,300,000 of equity in the following components:

Going forward, an LTI award is typically granted during the first quarter of each fiscal year; however, the timing, form, amount and mix of the LTI award may be adjusted. You will receive additional information about how to accept your sign-on award online through E-Trade, our stock plan administrator, within 30 days of your joining Vista Outdoor.

This offer also includes an additional, one-time sign-on grant, with a value of $1,750,000 worth of RSU's upon commencement of employment, with a three-year vesting schedule.

You will also participate in the executive Income Security Plan (ISP), attached hereto, which provides additional benefits in the event of a change in control or other “qualifying event.” Separate from any “qualifying event” per the ISP, you will also be eligible to receive one year of severance and bonus (actual bonus, if earned, based on company performance, paid on the date bonuses are paid to all qualifying employees) if you are terminated involuntarily for any reason other than cause (“cause” defined by the ISP) or for “Good Reason” as defined in the ISP.

This offer includes Personal Time Off (PTO), which will accrue in even increments each pay period up to a total of 160 hours per full calendar year.

As a regular status, full time employee, you will be immediately eligible to participate in the Vista Outdoor benefit programs; attached is a summary of the Vista Outdoor benefits. Your benefit options will be explained in more detail during your new hire orientation and you will be eligible to enroll in the benefit programs at that time.

Your principal work location will be at the Vista Outdoor headquarters in Farmington, Utah. To help you transition to your new home, we offer our Home Owner Relocation Program.
