looks really nice 

My teacher told me to use T-square. Position zero at the arrow pass (middle of the thin leather piece above the grip). The Nocking point will be 1 cm above the arrow pass for weak bows and 2 cm for strong (>#45) bows.
So I think 1-2 cm above the arrow pass or 1.5-2.5 cm above the grip should be ok for you.

I use to got arrow strikes on the left thumb until I improve my gripping technique.

I tried tube spacers in my new short quiver. The spacers were made of 1/2" dim, 6" aluminium tube and I found taking arrows out are a bit difficult. Arrows still rattling as I walk or run. Although I install the quiver with three point hanging. High center of gravity of the arrow bundle make the whole thing swing in and out left and right as I move too.
At the end, I put Gung-Dae (bow sleeve) over the arrow shafts (similar to palace guard) and it's much better. I am thinking about shortening the tube or change the spacer style.
I did some research for spacers and found other style such as holes in leather, string devider and cloth rope (Qing, chinese, as showed above).
Is there any member could tell me what is the historical spacer for such a short quiver like the one in the top image of this thread?

I knew that many people successfully adopt western shooting style with asiatic bows.
Korean bow is shorter than most modern recurve bows, you may found string angle become a problem with your 3 fingers style. Compared to longbow, no-shelf+highly reflex build of KTB also amplified small shooting mistakes to a large error. You may found these points are annoying during your early practice.

Never shoot with guide but planning to get one myself. I think rounding the edge with sand paper plus string serving will do.

Shooting low gpp arrows from KTB is not a big deal as limb mass of this bow is very low. Style of shooting which have the bow turn 180 degree as arrow release also decrease inertial shock. 

I didn't say low gpp is good for KTB but it does less damage than heavy-long wooded limb bows.

It 's too hot for shooting here, Bangkok 

Another problem with my YM carbon arrows are the relatively blunt tip.
The arrows may bounced back from some EVA 3D targets.
They also punch small round pieces of material out of backstops and some archery clubs may not happy about that.

I can do no better than you for drawing and release.
But I would like to suggest you to try instinctive nocking (similar to Hannu's video) as traditional archery books told to keep eyes on target/enemy and I think it 's cool  .

It 's 33C here. Humid hot 

With modern materials (belly/string/back), physical creep are negligible for holding either 0.01 or 10 seconds at anchor position.

IMO: The tradition materials (horn/silk/sinew) are also resistant to creep at some degree.
