Is it theoretically possible to shoot something through the ring? Or does the even horizon completely envelop it?

It is, and you won't believe what happens!

the event horizon is effectively a sphere, like inflating a donut-shaped balloon (that can't pop). Eventually the middle hole is going to close like a sphincter (enjoy that imagery) and the whole thing will approach the shape of a sphere because that's what anything becomes when you inflate it hugely.
