Robert Backhouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Ormston Backhouse was a British archer. He competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

Backhouse entered the men's double York round event in 1908, taking 13th place with 516 points. He also shot a round in the manner of the Continental style event, but as a demonstration rather than in the actual competition. He scored 260 points, which would have given him a silver medal if his competition had been official. Backhouse received a Diploma of Merit for his effort in the Continental style.^[1]
