The height differential too great and  the bolts have different trajectories. The inescapable conclusion is that there was another Grimm firing another dopplearmburst. That could have been Kelly, though with the actress moving onto another show, that's unlikely; Josh - he'd have been trained in the weapon; Uncle George or one of his family - we don't know anything about Uncle George.

I didn't see anything in the first three seasons @grimmaniac to explain what Nick and Juliette were doing together in the first place.

Trubel's choice of a knight is an examplar of her desire to be a piece that moves differently to all the others. The two bolts that were shot at Juliette actually hit her about a second apart from each other, so they weren't fired at the same time. If you watch that scene closely when Trubel is shown firing the darts, you can see the first one that's fired is on top, and the second one on the bottom isn't fired simultaneously. Here's a screencap of the first dart having been fired, while the second one on the bottom is still in place in that ring-like chamber:



I think as far as Juliette and Nick go, we only know so much info about their life before Nick found out he was a Grimm, but as far as we can tell from the Pilot and the first few episodes of Season 1, it truly seemed like they were both ready to settle down in Portland. Renard also was a bit of a "puppeteer" of sorts in the background, as he once commented to Catherine Schade that he wanted Juliette and Nick to be together because Juliette tied Nick to Portland, and without her, he could leave.
