This is absolutely wrong!
The act of shooting begins with the habitual motion that precedes the release of a try. So as soon as you start the shooting motion, you're a shooter, regardless of whether you're airborne or not.
If you start the motion, get fouled, but never get airborne, you're still going to the line to shoot 2.
You absolutely can have a shooter without him/her being airborne.
