This height of the gaol dictates that the range of a shot must be greater to hit it than a shot attempting to reach the same plane that it is launched from.
Using the basic equation for RANGE of a projectile and plugging in 12m/s as the velocity (max. allowed by the rules) and 45 deg. as the elevation of launch, your range will be 48.2ft. This calculation ignores all other factors influencing the flight of the ball, like friction, rotation, air movement etc. As you can see, if you play by the rules, you CAN'T hit the center target from the platform.
