My favorite stand to hunt with the crossbow is the summit viper. I can lay the bow on the gun rest and it sits there perfectly. If something comes by, I can have the bow in hand will little effort or movement in quick time. I have other stands that I can hunt with a crossbow, but the vipers the best.

I've made myself hunt strictly out of a climber when hunting with a crossbow. I just can't get comfortable in a ladder stand and trying to hold onto a xbow.

A lot of the problem may be your tree stand. I use a NorthStarr and there is a place to lay my Xbow down on this stand right in front of me while in a sitting position.

I have to admit, if I had to hold any crossbow on my lap, I probably quit bow hunting. I have six or eight of the srew in hanger thingies from Realtree. They work great. On one of my ladder stands, there is a rest bar across the front and the crossbow fits on it nicely...as long as I don't forget and try to cross my legs. I use a hanger on that one, too.
