Bart de Zwan was casting the 5wt. TCR and the 5wt. MED in the video below. Don't think I have seen anyone using a smaller arc for such a distance.
I remember that Paul and I had a chat about Bart posting a very first video saying he was casting 120 feet in it. Paul and I agreed that this was hard to believe by what we saw in that video. Then I met Bart and he just did it .
123° delievery arc (124° & 128° on Steve Rajeff using a stiffer rod in Norway)
Bart was casting with Steve before and pretty much tried to copy his relatively small arc.
I think 120-130° is a very narrow arc for a 120feet cast with that outfit.
