RE: bow placement while on stand
You need an, "All the Above" selection, really. I have a bow holder, I have a bow stirrup, I lay it across the top part of my climber and I hang in on a bow hook from a tree if facing the tree. I never stay in one position for hours. Each position I make sure the bow is at hand. Seated it's across my lap or in the bow holder. Standing, it's in my hand resting in the holster. If facing the tree it's in the holster or on a bow hook screwed into the tree. I ususally put 2 or 3 in the tree first thing I get up there. My stand allows me to face away or towards the tree with no big fuss.
