I hold it most of the time but when I need relief I hang it on a hook on the tree.

I use a screw in holder i think made by "Gorilla" that i keep strapped to my climber on my way to my tree, when i'm up in my climber i anchor it in just above my right shoulder as i'm standing up slighty 90 degrees from my seat. Most of the time prior to daylight i have my bow "at the ready" till after daylight and usually hang the bow if i need to take a leak,stretch or munch a sandwich.

I keep my bow in the built-in bow holder on my Lone Wolf climber, it's real accessable with minimal movement to grab it.

In a loc on I hang it so I can stand and grab it in one motion, in my climber I have a holder on my seats rail.....same motion.

I'll hang my bow on a hook within half a arms reach so I don't make that much movement.
In the early morning hours I'll keep my bow in my hand ready for mr. Big Rackto come by.

I guess I would fall into the "other" vote. I do lay my bow on it's side but not in my lap.......it lays on my front rail of my Summit. I can stand up or sit down with no problems.......it gives me plenty of room to move and is right there if I get a chance to shoot.

Usually across my lap, but when I need a break I hang it on the hook/.
