Ryan Martin, a coach at Lake Region High School in Naples and a former Mr. Maine Basketball, sank 1,134 shots from behind the three-point line during the 1-hour time limit.

Martin bested the current Guinness World Record of 1,077, which was set by Oregon man Daniel Loriaux in 2012.

"It's really just taking it one shot at a time and having confidence in yourself knowing that you prepared to do it," Martin told WVII-TV.

Martin is now waiting to hear back from Guinness World Records to see if he officially took the title.
