RE: Weird Nocking Point
He's just using an aiming technique called string walking. Notice after he nocks the arrow, he's counting (most likely counting either stiches in his tab or strands in the serving), marking the spot with his thumb, then putting the top of his tab in that spot.
You can to that so you can shoot point-on at various distances--the closer the target, the further down the string you put the tab. Pretty accurate if you can judge distance and get a consistent release, but not legal for most tournaments.
A similar technique is face walking, where instead of moving the tab up or down the string you have different spots to anchor on your face, for the same results. It's not legal at most tournaments either.
