Daily News | At his parents’ former tofu factory, he runs the city’s only indoor archery range

, a former mechanical engineer and the owner of Callowhill Archery, Philly’s only indoor archery range and training center.: “Marvel’s Hawkeye really put archery back into the spotlight. I get people going ‘I want to be like Hawkeye or the Green Arrow.’ ”“Archery is literally the ballet of shooting. On stage you make it look graceful and easy, but behind the scenes it takes a lot of practice and discipline.

Wen fell in love immediately, and when he got back to Philly, he took lessons at B & A Archery in Tacony. He liked how the sport cleared his head; how it required him to focus on the shot and nothing else.

Wen spent months renovating the building, and got friends to help him paint the interior with black-and-white murals of notable Philly landmarks like Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
