TBH Express HUGE THANK YOU - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

curtintex · 06-21-2022, 08:44 PM

Big shout out of gratitude to Mike (Mike D), Stephen (Shinesintx) and Brian (brianlg31) for helping coordinate and facilitate a TBH express from the DFW area to Porter, TX for me. The big hero in the whole thing was Miss Harley, Brian's daughter, who made her way around DFW meeting with Mike and Stephen, collecting guns, ammo, and magazines. She then drove them down to Bellville to visit her Dad for Father's Day. Brian then delivered them to a common jobsite we're both working on in Porter. Of the four, Brian was the only one I got to thank personally and shake his hand and it was a pleasure to finally meet him.

Where else in the world would this happen but TBH. Where, but TBH, would a Dad (Brian) ask his daughter to help us out by meeting total strangers to collect guns and ammo? Where else but TBH would she feel totally safe doing so? Where else but TBH can you PayPal money immediately to a person you've never met and worry about the logistics of actually getting the stuff later?

The guns are birthday gifts for my twins girls and I'm thankful to have people that I can count on to do what they say they will. Thank y'all very much for gettin' it done.

Curt

Awesome stuff!

Pistol · 06-21-2022, 09:02 PM

Agreed! Many times, a TBH express is the safest way to ship in Texas. I don't have many stories, but my sister sure does!! (Usually I am the one doing the driving around!

)

careybirdwell · 06-21-2022, 09:02 PM

I have had some great TBH Express. One of a kind place

Pedernal · 06-21-2022, 09:05 PM

Awesome folks on here! Thanks for sharing. we have gotten good at pointing out when someone on the GS screws the pouch but to often forget to show gratitude to all the good folks on here.

I’d have to second this ! Your sis brought my Henry .22 mag to Flint a few years ago if I’m not mistaken.

manwitaplan · 06-21-2022, 09:10 PM

Very cool! That is a heck of a TBH express but good things happen to good people.

buckerup · 06-21-2022, 09:10 PM

Thanks for sharing your experience and reminding us what a special group we’re so lucky to be a part of. Thanks TBH and all the GREAT members!

Pretty sure that was me, since I live in Flint. I picked it up from her though, right? I don't recall. You may be right.

windwalker · 06-21-2022, 09:29 PM

There are some Awesome people on this sight
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of them through TBH Express

brianlg31 · 06-21-2022, 09:40 PM

Curt the honor was all mine and Harley’s! There are many on TBH that helped the Gardner family when Macie was in the hospital, you being one of them. I don’t have a lot, but we do travel quite a bit and I try to do as many TBH expresses as I can, to try and pay back a little. And yes only on TBH would I ask my daughter to meet a stranger to pick something up, she has done a few.

So glad it worked out, thank you!

Brian

Burnadell · 06-21-2022, 09:44 PM

Lotta good folks here!

TKRanch · 06-21-2022, 09:45 PM

TBH is a great place with great people. Have done a few Expresses and the last one I was part of my son picked up from a stranger and delivered to one as well. Good folks here!

Rubi513 · 06-21-2022, 09:52 PM

I have bought and sold multiple items and have yet experienced a bad deal.
Well done folks.

Buckshot4900 · 06-21-2022, 10:00 PM

Personally I have bought and sold a bunch and never met a person on TBH I wouldn’t consider a friend.
Even Burnadel.

Pretty awesome. I’ve never been a part of one but would like to try it some day .

It is a good move to give some gas $, or a beer, or handshake suffice?

Jon B · 06-21-2022, 10:24 PM

I have gotten the opportunity to be the person that benefits from the express as well as a member of several. Only on TBH.

Graysonhogs · 06-21-2022, 10:35 PM

It’s crazy to the “outside” person.
“Hi, nice to meet you. Here’s a $1500 item for you to express for me.” And not have a worry in the world that it wouldn’t get there.

My wife thinks it is crazy, you picked up or shipped something with someone you have never met ? Yep

I do love that part of this site !

Someone told me one time “you get out of TBH, what you put into it”.

I may need to put in a little more, but I doubt I could ever catch up.

Thanks for sharing this Curt. Love it when a plan comes together. I always try to help out fellow TBH’ers when i can. I know someday I will need help myself and hope others will step up. This is truly an incredible community with some really great folks. I’m proud to be a part of it.

Mayhem · 06-22-2022, 05:30 AM

A lot of logistics went into this meeting and it cool to see it all work out.

I’m curious as to what kind of gun the twins are getting.

Great testimony for the TBH Brotherhood. Plus the question “ What do you give twin girls for their birthday”? Guns and more guns. Great job everyone.

jdg13 · 06-22-2022, 07:40 AM

Lots of great guys on here even if a few are smart alecks

I'd ship most anything via express before I gave to the clowns at USPS

Chance Love · 06-22-2022, 08:00 AM

Good to hear and not surprised AT ALL.

The ol' TBH Express is THE most dependable and cost effective delivery service available. It is one of the few things in life that I have 100% confidence in. Well done, fellers!

What kind of guns???

Geezy Rider · 06-22-2022, 08:01 AM

Yep, this is an amazing place.

No chance that I will ever catch up.

ThisLadyHunts · 06-22-2022, 08:11 AM

What a cool story! Good to see that TBH is a place where one’s word and a handshake still stand for something.

Mary · 06-22-2022, 08:17 AM

That's awesome....Great read to start the day!

Roperyoung · 06-22-2022, 08:25 AM

good stuff

SaltwaterSlick · 06-22-2022, 08:37 AM

Yep, hard to beat that! My wife was involved in a "shotgun transfer" once upon a time... She was just a bit nervous about it... When it was over, she told me that I sort of understand why you are a TBH'er... Now a few years later, and having met several TBH'ers over that period, she tells others about my "social media" habit but it's a good habit with good folks!!

Come on Curt, share with us what these little ones are getting!!?

Inquiring (nosy) minds want to know...

They're each getting a Glock 26, a custom holster from Tucker and Byrd Leatherworks, and two boxes of 9mm. That's the same thing both of their sisters got for their 18th birthday too. If I'm sending my babies out into the real world, I'm sending them prepared for this world.

Of course they can't carry for a few more years, but they'll be living off-campus and I'll feel better knowing they have the means and the competency to protect themselves.

Goldeneagle · 06-22-2022, 09:57 AM

Glad it worked out for ya Curt!

Y'all ain't seen nothing until you've seen Nursejenn pull a boat motor out of her vehicle.
