Archery at the 1904 Summer Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the 1904 Summer Olympics in Saint Louis, six archery events were contested, of which three were men's and three were women's competitions. Only American archers competed. 23 men and 6 women constituted the entire field.
As was common in early Olympic archery, the events held in 1904 had little resemblance to the previous edition's events. Team archery was introduced for the first time, as was women's archery.
