As was pointed out earlier, it all depends on the speed of the
electronics you can bring to bear. How much are you willing to spend?

Here's a thought: enclose the laser beam in a pipe to shield it from
outside influences. To relax the aiming requirement, make the inside of
the pipe reflective. The most loss-free reflector available is total
internal reflection of low-angle incidence on a high-to-low index
interface, so the "pipe" could be a glass rod. But then it wouldn't be
free space. :=(
