Archery
Davis is classified as a W1 archer and competes in the most impaired Paralympic event. He decided to pursue archer later in life after witnessing Matt Stutzman, an armless archer compete at the Paralympics. He took up archery in 2019. Davis shoots his compound bow with a mouthtab, biting down on the material attached to the string and pushing the bow away from him to build tension.

At the age of 51, he won the gold medal in Men's W1 at the 2023 World Para Archery Championships. In the final he defeated Bahattin Hekimoglu 131 to 127.
