Bear Archery is excited to announce the release of two exceptional new bows in our mainline category, developed in collaboration with our partners at Mossy Oak® GameKeepers®. Introducing the Gamekeeper JR RTH and the Gamekeeper RTH Compound Bows. A perfect blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology, designed to meet the needs of hunters of all ages and skill levels.

Fred Bear, the father of modern bowhunting, was a legend in the woods and a true Gamekeeper at heart. His profound respect for the outdoors and wildlife is something we’ve always admired and strived to embody at Bear Archery. As Fred Bear famously said, “If you are not working to protect hunting, then you are working to destroy it.” This belief is at the core of our values, making our partnership with Mossy Oak GameKeepers a natural fit.

Conservation is at the heart of everything we do, and with this principle in mind, we are dedicated to honoring Fred Bear's legacy by creating bows that offer the best shooting experience while remaining true to his vision of making archery accessible to everyone. Our partnership with Mossy Oak GameKeepers reflects these core values perfectly. These new bows showcase our dedication to preserving hunting heritage, embracing top-notch craftsmanship, and ensuring a lasting commitment to conservation and the future of the wild.

The Gamekeeper JR RTH is designed with young hunters and aspiring archers in mind. It’s compact, powerful, and versatile, with a speed of up to 290 feet per second, a forgiving 6-inch brace height, and a 27-inch axle-to-axle length. With adjustable draw weights from 5 to 50 pounds and a draw length range of 12 to 27 inches, this bow grows with the shooter. The 75% let-off ensures smooth, accurate shots every time. Plus, it comes fully loaded with a Trophy Ridge Ready-To-Hunt package, including a V-Biscuit rest, premium 4 pin sight, Mossy Oak Bottomlands 5 arrow quiver, stabilizer, peep sight, and wrist sling—so it’s ready to hit the field right out of the box.

The Gamekeeper RTH is where tradition meets top-tier performance. This bow fires arrows at a blazing 330 feet per second, with a forgiving 6.5-inch brace height and a 30-inch axle-to-axle length that delivers the perfect balance of speed and accuracy. Adjustable draw weights from 45 to 70 pounds and a draw length range of 27 to 32 inches ensure a custom fit for any shooter. With an 80% let-off, it makes every shot smooth and effortless. And of course, it comes equipped with the ultimate Trophy Ridge Ready-To-Hunt package: an IMS® V-Biscuit rest, Picatinny-mounted 4 pin sight, Mossy Oak Bottomland 5 arrow quiver, stabilizer, peep sight, and wrist sling—everything you need for a successful hunt.
