If I hit him I would not be?
Interestingly I was shot at by a Christian with a .22 rifle. True story. A preacher's son, actually.
To answer your question you would still be a sinner, but to miss your target was a more 'literal' sin. Being a sinner implies the Judean / Christian notion of the sin inherited by all through Adam rather than individual and a sort of a more 'literal' application.
