- Archery at the 1908 Summer Olympics - Men's double York round
The men's double York round was one of three archery events on the Archery at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme. Arrows were shot in ends, or groups, of three. The archers shot a total of 288 arrows each over the two rounds of 144. The competition was held on 17 July and 18 July, with one round each day. Each round consisted of 72 arrows at 100 yards (91.4 m), 48 arrows at 80 yards (73 m), and 24 arrows at 60 yards (54.8 m).
William Dod won the competition to best his sister Lottie Dod's result; she won the silver medal in the women's competition. The United States' only archer won a bronze medal in this competition, preventing Great Britain from sweeping this event as they did the women's competition and France did the Continental-style event. A number of French archers entered the York round competition, though none did better than 16th place.
