From a technical standpoint it is possible. The render distance (at least on Xbox, I hear it's shorter on PS3) is significantly farther than the maximum range. I've taken some ridiculous shots before at least to about 90 meters if not more, obviously without success of course. But after walking to the location of my target I would still find my arrows had been rendered and sticking in the ground. either right under or right behind my target. If that's the case, the technological capabilities shouldn't be a problem, and I've done much more demanding things with Skyrim on my Xbox through modded saves (Spamming Alduin's meteor sky shout, summoning 10 Dremora at once, etc.) all without a drop in fps.
