At the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, six archery events were contested, of which three were men's and three were women's competitions. 23 men and 6 women constituted the field. As was common in early Olympic archery, the events held in 1904 had little resemblance to the previous edition's events (as early Olympic archery was not standardized). The events were formally named the 26th Grand Annual Target Meeting of the National Archery Association. While open to international entrants, no foreign competitors entered (with some archers from the Philippines entering but not competing).<ref name=Olympedia>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Team archery was introduced at these Games, as was women's archery.<ref name="SR">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The medalists were the same for both men's individual events (George Bryant taking gold, Robert Williams silver, and William Thompson bronze in both) and both women's individual events (Matilda Howell gold, Emma Cooke silver, Eliza Pollock bronze).<ref name=Olympedia/><ref name=IOC/> Howell, an early pioneer of women's archery, finished with three gold medals as she was a member of the only women's team to appear in the records.<ref name=Olympedia/><ref name=IOC/>

In addition to the six events currently recognized as Olympic events by the International Olympic Committee,<ref name=IOC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> there were also medals awarded for the top scores at each range in the Olympic events, separate flight shooting (longest distance) events, and an "Anthropology Days" event.<ref name=Olympedia/>
