Not if you keep the dot on the target! It is quite likely that a C152 won't have the power to both accelerate to 120 kts and keep the dot on the target, so as has been said before, you have to work within the limits of the ac, and you may run into an obstacle if the resulting flight path is too extreme. Otherwise, the only circumstance in which you won't hit the target is if it too quick to catch.
