How do you guys have your bow when you're in your stand? Lots of guys use tree hooks and stuff but be more specific........is it straight out in front of you or off to the side or right close to the tree..........do you use a hook or telescoping rod?..........maybe a stand mounted holder?

I lay my bow across the front rail of my stand..........I know some guys even hold their bow the entire time.

Just curious...........and have you ever noticed a benefit or drawback to any of the above methods?
