I don't know if you could accomplish that with a compound bow.
Most of my shooting has been with a compound, and I wouldn't try anything like this with one of those. I've seen some trick shots similar to this done with traditional gear (stickbow or recurve).

Yes, on second thought though, if like you said you were to nock it high and turn it sideways, the arrow would try to correct or stabilize itself and this would be within the realm of possilibity. Even so, I highly doubt this was a first try success.
