ADDebney had been at the helm of American Outdoor and its predecessor company since 2011, expanding its portfolio through a slew of acquisitions. In November, American Outdoor announced Debney would lead the outdoor products company after the spinoff. Smith has been president of the company’s manufacturing services unit while Murphy sat at the top of the outdoor products and accessories division, the company said. After the company splits, Murphy will lead the outdoor business, and Smith will take over the gun operation. American Outdoor said the division is carrying on as planned.
