Default Hang bow or keep in hand?

Another post has me wondering what everyone does. I can't believe that my son and I are the only ones to keep our bow in our hands while on stand. One person stated it was "unrealistic" to keep you bow in your hand and another stated that keeping it in your hand would cause more movement.

IMO keeping it in hand means no movement except to raise bow and draw. Hanging it would mean you have to reach over for it and then point it and draw. To me keeping it in hand and ready at all times minimizes you getting busted when the deer come in.

What do all of you do with your bow in stand?

Thanks for the input.
