Fly Casting Distance Records

I looked up these records from the American Casting Association. I think that you will find this as interesting as I do. Though I doubt that I will never cast 190 ft, I have a goal of being able to consistently cast an 8wt line 100 ft without false cast. I know that by applying and practicing the casting principles that my goal achievable. Do any of you having any casting or fishing goals?
