The Sur la Perche à la Herse event was part of the archery programme at the 1900 Summer Olympics. Only the names of the three top placers are known.

There were at most 126 other competitors in this event, as 129 archers competed in the two "à la perche" events. However, whether all of those archers entered both events or not (and if not, how many actually did contest each) is unknown. The event was contested on 15 July and 16 July 1900.
