    use duct tape to make slots with big pieces of cardboard, then gorilla glue the edges to your wall. super ghetto, really sh*tty, and extremely dirty

    Hammer a big nail into the wall (make sure you hit a stud) and hang each board from it's leash loop.

    Go with a horizontal rack... two loops of heavy twine hanging from screws in the wall... 'bout as ghetto as you can get.

    But I'd recommend one piece of 2" baluster material (.89 cents at HD) cut in half, and two 10"x12" shelf brackets ($1.27 each at HD).

    That and a few screws will get you a rack for under 5 bucks, and you can stack several boards on it no problem, including that old log you only break out when it's knee high.

    hang dem *****es from the ceiling, yo. Some threaded pad eyes and twine, boom! Iv hung them over couches / beds / tables, pretty sweet actually- and out of the way. Make sure you hit a joist or you will get some ding repair practice out of it too.

    if your quiver all have fcs fins, you can get the hangers they display the boards in like the shops, and hang them from a clothes hanger.

    x2...I have done that for years. I used nylon rope burned at both ends. Then I fasten them to the ceiling with washers and sheet rock screws. Like Lee said...there out of the way and IMO look kinda cool there.

    so take your fin(s) out every time you store your boards overnight??? honestly that would irritate me...and im not sure in the long run all that good for cheap ass set-screws that seem like they are made from recycled aluminum foil.

    just hammer rusty nails into your wall then hang your boards by the fin slots. make sure you dont insert/remove the fins properly for extra ghettoness

    Get a pack of those monkey hooks. Just stab them in the drywall(no need for studs) and hang your sticks from the leash loop. No hammer no, stud finding and the hooks hold a good amount of weight.
