About Us
about Us
David “Lightning” Lewis discovered axe throwing just months before the 2020 quarantine. Seeking an escape from work while living alone in Lakeville, he transformed his garage into a personal axe arena, igniting a passion that would shape his future. Once venues reopened, he joined leagues and quickly found a competitive rival and close friend in Austin. With guidance from Austin and other world-class throwers, David honed his skills, earning consistent top 10 global league rankings in Big Axe and duals and establishing himself as one of the top all-around throwers in the world across all disciplines.
David’s accomplishments speak for themselves—he has earned invitations to the last four World Championships and will once again compete in the 2024 World Championships, where he is one of only 23 throwers competing in all five disciplines: hatchet, big axe, duals (as part of the Finnish Hymn team with Austin), as well as the WKTL Knife Throwing World Championship, both individually and in duals. His past duals performances include 13th and 5th place finishes in consecutive years at the WATL World Championship.
Beyond competition, David represents Tuff Wraps as an official ambassador, using their Villain wrist wraps for comfort and stability in his throws. His dedication, precision, and passion for the sport continue to push him toward new heights in the world of axe and knife throwing.
