What am I seeing

[Bowguy67]

About 7:40ish in am I seeing things? The video isn’t great but isn’t that arrow on top nock?

No video here but I will mention that Howard Hill nocked above the nock point.
The reason we modern archers nock under is our arrow will slide up the string with the arrow resting on the arrow shelf.
Shooting split the nock can slide down the string slightly on release.
3 under is even worse, that's why some people use two nock points.

I've always nocked the arrow over the nocking point. Just the way I learned long ago.

Hill and Schulz nocked above and I learned that way a long time ago.   I cant the bow, shoot split finger, and remove the arrow from the back quiver by the nock.   I find it much easier keeping my eyes on the target without looking for the string and nock. 

Works for me.

If you're Howard Hill, you can nock an arrow wherever you want - over or under.  When you're good - you're good!

With so many people shooting 3 under these days that may seem odd to nock above the nocking point.

I have read that Hill was a top nocker.

A buddy once told me that nocking above the nocking point allows the use of arrows of different diameter. Makes sense when you think about it.

I learned about nocking above by readings of some of the old timers, most who used back quivers. They would grasp the nock of the arrow using the indicator to orient the arrow and lay it on the string and shelf or hand and begin the draw. Back in those days speed shooting was part of their archery kit.
 I don't use a back quiver but have always nocked over.
