Lida Howell won this event with 9½ points of a possible 10, and with 867 overall points, she was more than 230 points ahead of second and third place. The podium in this event was the same as in the Double National Round with Howell winning both events, and Emma Cooke and Eliza Pollock finishing second and third in both. Howell was the dominant American archer of this era, winning 17 US Championships between 1883 and 1907, and she only competed 20 times. Cooke had the only other score in this event, getting ½ point for tying Howell with the most hits (48) at 50 yards. Oddly, Cooke and Pollock both scored 630 overall points, and they had also tied in the Double National Round with 419 overall points. This was the only time this event was contested at the Olympics.
