ABOUT Archery adventures

What started as a small archery range for guests at the family’s lodge in Plettenberg Bay grew into a full
professional 3D course after connecting with local archers. In 2023, the business relocated to a bigger farm,
and that same year the Somerset West branch opened at Lourensford Wine Estate — in partnership with an
established outdoor adventure company called Rowe Outdoor Adventures, which is where Axe Throwing,
Guns & Bows, and Pyle, Byle & Bullets came from.

Meet the Directors of Archery Adventures

This adventurous couple, Chris and Karin Spiess partners in life, parenting, and purpose made the bold move to South Africa in 2018 with their two children, embracing the unknown and a life lived outdoors. Since then, their family has grown with the joyful addition of their youngest daughter, and so has their passion for creating meaningful, nature-driven experiences.

Together, they founded Archery Adventures as a way to share their love for movement, discovery, and doing things a little differently. Whether it’s trying something new, venturing off the beaten path, or simply being present in the wild beauty around them, they’re committed to living deeply and inspiring others to do the same.

They believe in teamwork, both at home and in business, and their journey is proof that with courage, connection, and curiosity, anything is possible.
