So, apparently, it can get a lot clearer than 5-2-5. In fact, it does in 5.2.5C.

Snaq, the rule says, "...a player may not gain control of the ball and
try for a field goal. "
He can't try for goal equals he can't shoot.
If he can't shoot, he can't be in the act of shooting.
Seems pretty clear to me.
