There's a "max distance in pure daylight" Stew Perry award at least some years?
At start of a 160M contest (5PM local time, shortly before my sunset) I have no problem making QSO's into Indiana and Illinois (600-700 miles). I would be reluctant to call this NVIS. The stations doing 500+ miles in broad daylight on 160 are using decent antenna systems, NOT using crappy NVIS antennas.
