Shooting from opposite side of the field

After hearing the balls were foam, I was worried about how they would handle being launched with air resistance (as a foamy ball would barley go anywhere, like throwing a un-crumpled piece of paper). After I got my hands on one though, it seems a lot better then I thought it would be.

Anyway, my question would be do you think a shooter powerful enough to score from the other side of the field (or up against the bump on the other side, at least) be possible? and is scoring from the other side allowed? (I saw nothing in the rules)
