In The Witcher 2, is it possible to hit the man with the red plume?

Question

In the tutorial, the king gives Geralt the spyglass to aim for the "man with the red plume", while he adjusts the ballista. I felt like I had the cross-hairs right on the man, but when the bolt was fired, it was a bit high.

Is it possible to actually hit the target? If so, do you need to aim somewhere other than directly at him (perhaps a bit low)?

Answer

According to the Game Guide that came with my copy of the game, 1.5 degrees is the right angle. I've got my brother testing what that does currently, and will update when he succeeds (or fails).

Edit: It appears that if you get the correct angle and kill the "red-plumed man" you will not have to fight Count Etchverry after breaking through the barricade. (so it reduces the number of enemies you have to fight a little later on).
