Default RE: bow placement while on stand

I started out hanging my bow on hangers I had screwed into trees. However, maybe it's just me, but I try to refrain from any excess movement when it's crunch time. Having to stand up, twist around and reach for my bow just wasn't for me.Thispast season I actually held my bow in my hand, with the bottom of the bow resting in betweenwheremyleg and the top ofmy boot meet. This way my boot is holding the bow's weight andmy armdoesn't get tired. Already in position to shoot "while sitting" all the movement you have leftat this point isto just pull back.
If your a hunter wholikes to stand for the lasthour likeI sometimes do, you might try holding your bow in your hand, with the bottom of the bow restingonyour waist line. This again takes the weight of the bow off your arm and onto you pants (waist). Again putting yourself into a position to shoot without any excess movement is what may make or breakour chances in harvesting a deer.
