Philadelphia’s Callowhill Archery aims for indoor fun and hits the mark

PHILADELPHIA– When people think of recreational sports, they usually think of football, basketball, and baseball.

But Yuan Jie Wen is working to add archery to the list.

The former mechanical engineer took up the sport during the pandemic and now runs one of the city’s few indoor archery ranges.

Callowhill Archery offers lessons for those aged 8 and over and hires archery and equipment by the hour for those with experience.

The facility also has a family connection – it’s located in the building that housed his parents’ tofu factory in the 1990s.
