I believe the choice of location helped in my liking Medellín. Instead of staying in the
Parque Lleras or Poblado areas, which are more popular with the tourists, I am
staying next to Unidad Deportiva de Belén. UDB is a recreation center. They have
basketball courts, soccer fields, two pools, tennis courts, weights and an
archery range. I can just walk across the street and play. The weather is
almost always pleasant, so that means outdoor sports are good almost any time
in Medellín.
I am taking archery classes at the UDB. $80 for 10 hours of
personalized instruction. It is less if you take it with a group, but since I
am not going to be here for a long period I chose the personal instruction. I
am really enjoying it and can recommend it to others. If you are interested,

or just go to UDB. They also have
personal instructors in other sports as well.
Going around the city, I have noticed there are other
similar recreational centers.
These were from about 20 meters, but still I am getting better:
