The Bear Royale RTH Compound Bow is a lightweight, highly adjustable compound bow package built for youth archers, beginners, and smaller-framed shooters. With an adjustable draw weight from 5 to 50 pounds and a draw length range of 12 to 27 inches, the Royale is designed to grow with a developing archer while providing the features needed to learn proper shooting fundamentals.
Weighing just 2.7 pounds bare and 3.3 pounds with its included accessories, the Royale combines a compact 27-inch axle-to-axle design with Bear Archery's Ready to Hunt (RTH) accessory package. It comes equipped with a Trophy Ridge Mist sight, 5-Spot quiver, Whisker Biscuit arrow rest, Fletcher Archery No Tie Peep, and nock loop, making it an excellent starting point for recreational archery and eventually bowhunting when the shooter is ready.
Key Features
Adjustable 5–50 Pound Draw Weight
One of the biggest advantages of the Bear Royale is its broad draw-weight adjustment range. The bow can be set as low as 5 pounds for newer or younger archers and adjusted up to 50 pounds as strength, technique, and experience develop.
This makes the Royale a practical option for families who want a compound bow that can accommodate a growing shooter rather than replacing the entire bow every time their draw weight needs change.
Draw weight should always be based on what the archer can comfortably manage with proper form. Starting with a lower, manageable weight helps new shooters focus on consistent technique instead of struggling through the draw cycle.
12–27 Inch Adjustable Draw Length
The Bear Royale provides draw length adjustment from 12 to 27 inches, allowing the bow to fit a wide range of young archers and smaller-framed shooters.
Proper draw length is especially important for beginners. A bow that is too long or too short can affect anchor position, posture, aiming stability, and shooting consistency.
The Royale's adjustability makes it possible to refine the fit as the shooter grows and their technique improves.
Easy Adjustments Without a Bow Press
Bear designed the Royale so that draw length and draw weight adjustments can be made with an appropriate Allen wrench without requiring a bow press for those adjustments.
This is particularly useful for parents and developing archers because the bow can be adjusted over time without requiring major equipment changes.
Always follow Bear Archery's current adjustment instructions and limb-bolt limits. If you're unfamiliar with adjusting a compound bow, have a qualified archery technician complete the setup.
Lightweight 2.7-Pound Bow
The Royale weighs just 2.7 pounds without accessories and approximately 3.3 pounds with the included RTH equipment installed.
For a younger shooter, bow weight can be just as important as draw weight. A lightweight bow is generally easier to hold, aim, and manage during extended practice sessions.
The Royale's compact 27-inch axle-to-axle design also makes it easier for smaller archers to maneuver comfortably.
Ready to Hunt Accessory Package
The Bear Royale comes equipped with an RTH accessory package that provides several of the key components needed to begin shooting.
Included accessories are:
-
Trophy Ridge Mist Sight: Provides an aiming reference for developing consistent shot placement.
-
5-Spot Quiver: A bow-mounted quiver for carrying arrows.
-
Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest: A full-containment rest that helps support the arrow during setup and aiming.
-
Fletcher Archery No Tie Peep: Provides a consistent reference for sight alignment.
-
Nock Loop: Provides a connection point for a compatible archery release aid.
Package Note: The standard Royale RTH package does not include arrows or a handheld release aid. Those items should be selected separately based on the shooter's draw length, draw weight, and proper equipment fit.
75% Let-Off
The Royale features a manufacturer-listed 75% let-off, reducing the amount of weight the archer holds at full draw compared with the bow's peak draw weight.
This allows a developing shooter to settle into their anchor and work on aiming and shot execution without holding the full peak draw weight throughout the shot.
Let-off is one part of the shooting experience. Proper draw weight, draw length, and technique remain essential for comfort and consistency.
290 FPS Manufacturer Speed Rating
Bear rates the Royale at up to 290 feet per second under the manufacturer's stated rating conditions.
For beginning archers, however, maximum arrow speed should not be the main priority. A properly fitted bow, appropriately selected arrows, and consistent shooting fundamentals are much more important.
Actual arrow speed will vary based on draw length, draw weight, arrow weight, and bow setup.
EnduraFiber Limbs
The Bear Royale features EnduraFiber limbs engineered to deliver consistent performance across the bow's adjustable draw-weight range.
The limb system is designed for the demands of a versatile compound bow that may be adjusted as a shooter develops their strength and shooting ability.
RockStops String Suppressor
Bear equips the Royale with its RockStops offset string suppressor, designed to help manage string vibration and noise after the shot.
Managing residual vibration contributes to a more comfortable shooting experience, particularly for newer archers who are developing confidence with a compound bow.
Who It's Built For
The Bear Royale RTH is designed for new and developing archers who need a lightweight compound bow with substantial room for adjustment.
It is particularly well suited for:
- Youth archers learning to shoot a compound bow.
- Parents looking for an adjustable bow their child can grow with.
- Beginners who need a manageable starting draw weight.
- Smaller-framed shooters who require a shorter draw length.
- Recreational archers practicing at an indoor or outdoor range.
- New bowhunters looking for a bow that can be adjusted as skills develop.
- Families who want an accessory-equipped package rather than assembling everything separately.
Although the Royale can adjust up to 50 pounds, it is important to select a draw weight appropriate for the shooter's strength, experience, and intended use.
For hunting, always verify that the finished setup meets applicable local regulations and that the archer can consistently and accurately shoot the bow at the chosen draw weight.

Our Take on the Bear Royale RTH
When we're helping someone get started in archery at Extreme Outfitters, one of the biggest things we look for is a bow that fits properly and allows the shooter to develop good habits from the beginning.
For younger archers, that usually means finding a bow with manageable draw weight, appropriate draw length, and an overall size that doesn't make shooting unnecessarily difficult.
That's where the Bear Royale makes a lot of sense.
The adjustment range is its biggest selling point. Being able to go from 5 to 50 pounds and 12 to 27 inches of draw length gives parents and new shooters considerable flexibility as the archer grows and develops.
We also like the lightweight design. At just 2.7 pounds bare, the Royale is easier for many young shooters to hold and manage than a heavier adult hunting bow.
The included RTH accessories are another advantage. The Whisker Biscuit provides a straightforward, full-containment rest, and the included sight, quiver, peep, and nock loop give the shooter a useful foundation without having to select every accessory individually.
One thing we would emphasize is that a Ready to Hunt package doesn't eliminate the importance of proper bow fitting and setup. The correct draw length, manageable draw weight, appropriate arrow spine, and properly adjusted accessories all matter.
We also wouldn't recommend starting a young archer at a higher draw weight simply because the bow is capable of reaching 50 pounds. Learning to shoot with proper form and consistent execution is much more valuable than trying to increase draw weight too quickly.
For parents looking for a first compound bow or for a beginner who needs a lightweight, highly adjustable setup, the Bear Royale RTH is a strong option worth considering.
