Would Incendiary Arrows allow you to hit a target beyond your bow's range?

Looked this up in Wiki, but it didn't mention anything on the subject.
If attacking a group of foes, and you target the closest one while being at your bow's maximum range, could you still hit a foe beyond the target, using the nearby clause of Incendiary Arrows? If so, that would mean it's possible to indirectly attack a foe beyond your bow's maximum range, right?

Yes, you can. It's quite noticeable in AB when you're attacking shrines at maximum flatbow range.
Attacking the closest target would hit all 3 NPCs, but attacking the farthest target would cause your character to step forward before attacking.
