You don't have to completely exit the OUTER WORKS:

The OUTER WORKS aren't carpet, and you only have to touch the COURTYARD carpet. Heck, you could sit on the platform and shoot out a poking stick to touch the carpet and shoot nice and level and completely untouchable. Provided you stuck to the bumper and frame perimeter extension rules, of course.
