I hold it mostly in my hand and have the end in my pocket. One advantage the Oneida offers. The bottom limb sits in my lower leg pocket while sitting and in the top hip pocket while standing. Always in the ready.

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.

i just use a felt covered treestand step.

3 arm E-Z hanger. I wish they made a 4 arm model.

most of the time its always in my hand you never know who going to show up

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.

it looks like most of you hang it on a hook . i usually have it in a holder on the rail right in front of me so all do is reach strait out on my left side and I'm ready to shoot. i asked this because i also have a hang on that i wasn't sure where i wanted to put the bow .i think I'll try a arm hanger for that and see how that works out

Bowholder on my seat. HCH

same goes here

Depends on what part the season it it. Early season it will be hanging on a hook from a tree, and then during and before rut it will be on my lap ready to go.
