Questions & Answers

Q: Do you offer any guided hiking for Southern Utah hikes?

A: Yes, I do. I can guide a hike for you or a group to most locations in Southern Utah within a 60-mile radius of St. George, UT. We can hike as far north as Cedar City, UT South into Colorado City, AZ & Hilldale, UT, or into Zion National Park, Snow Canyon state park, and much more. Hikes are based on experience level and physical condition. Thank you for reaching out to me.

Q: You mention offering in-home firearm safety training. What does this involve and how can I ensure a safe environment for this type of training?

A: In-Home Training* consists of conducting a firearm safety class which is part 1 of the Utah CFP requirement. Once a student completes the firearms safety portion, they can opt-in for future CFP training at a later time. In-home training also consists of the student or students learning hands-on firearm manipulation with a variety of supplied firearms. This one-on-one private training will assist them in gaining the knowledge and confidence to begin their firearm usage and purchasing choices. I can also use student-supplied firearms and give them the same training in order to become confident with their own personally owned firearms. This class is all done in a non-shooting environment. The minimum age for this training is ten years old.

Q: What does a typical Jeep shooting adventure entail? How does this experience differ from your standard shooting lessons?

A: A *Jeep Adventure* is where up to 3 customers, usually friends, contact me and say they want to have a fun, outdoor shooting adventure. I set up a small shooting range in a variety of local desert locations with a minimum of 3 types of firearms and 150 rounds of ammunition per person. The ammo can be shot in a variety of firearms from the Armory. Firearms must be pre-selected in order to optimize the experience. There is no experience required for this event as a safety class, and hands-on instruction of the use of each firearm will be explained before firing begins. The minimum age for this adventure is 13 years old.

Q: Could you provide more details about how you customize your firearms training to suit individual needs? What factors do you consider when customizing a training program?

A: The *Custom Training* involves tailoring a class specifically for the individual or group's needs. I speak to the customer and find out what their experience level is, the type of equipment they have or are looking into training with, assist in getting them the right equipment, and then provide them with a series of shooting/training sessions to get them to the point they are comfortable enough to go to the next step. I will assist them along the way with any information and guidance to build up for the next level of training. The minimum age for this training is ten years old.

Q: Do you offer HR218/ LEOSA qualifications for retired law enforcement officers?

A: YES! This service is available in Southern Utah, areas like St. George, Washington, Hurricane, Cedar City, Ivins, Santa Clara and other locations with prior approval by PAC-TACSHOOTING. This service applies to all (CDCR) California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation retirees with concealed carry authority, California retired Peace Officers, retired Federal Agents ie: USBP, CBP, ICE, and other agencies that require their retirees to annually qualify for legal concealed carry per the LEOSA/H218 requirements. I can accommodate individual or group qualifications. The qualification used will consist of an administered qualification per NRA-LE Division standards. Proper identification and equipment will be required prior to the shooting event. I attempt at re-qualification will be provided on site. Any DQ's or failure to qualify will require additional training at a different rate. Instructor can travel to different locations with prior arrangements.

I had a class with Ben as a first timer. It was so much fun! He is very knowledgeable and patient. Ben takes care of everything (arranging the range, providing guns, ammo, safety glasses, and earplugs if necessary). You just need to book and show up.

This was my first qualification since retiring from Law Enforcement and moving out of state. Ben made the process of updating my CCW go smoothly. He explained the qualification course of fire thoroughly and efficiently. I highly recommend!

Ben is an amazing teacher and I have a lot more confidence in my shooting ability after taking his class. At 87 years old, it was my first time shooting at a range and so I was a bit anxious about being able to perform. But Ben's teaching style is so clear and logical, and his emphasis on safety so solid that I soon felt at ease. I especially appreciated his patience with a beginner like myself, and the way he was totally prepared with all the needed equipment. I highly recommend his shooting class using your own firearm if you want more confidence in your ability to handle your gun safely and effectively.

My buddy and I had a great experience shooting and training with BenΓÇÖs instruction. We definitely improved our handgun fundamentals and saw noticeable improvement immediately during the session. Ben sets up a good array of targets that trains multiple aspects of handgun shooting and transitioning between targets. I recommend receiving instruction from him 100% and will be back in the future. Thank again!

I recently bought a new gun and am rather new to firearms and shooting. Bens classes have helped me tremendously with learning my new SIG and firearm safety in general. Ben is patient, informative and very knowledgeable - he goes into detail as to why and how you should handle a firearm. Ben is flexible and accommodating with scheduling and locations. My husband and I will be attending his concealed carry permit class soon, as well as, future classes with Ben. I highly recommend Ben as a shooting/gun instructor.

I booked an afternoon with Ben for my husband. He recently had a health scare and I was sure a few hours of practice would be great therapy. It was better than I had hoped! Ben had everything ready for us and was so nice, respectful and super knowledgeable. His tips and suggestions were invaluable and his desire to see that we enjoyed the experience was obvious! If we lived closer weΓÇÖd definitely return often! If you need an instructor I would highly recommend Ben! You wonΓÇÖt be sorry! Thank you Ben!!

I have just experienced an amazing therapy for stroke with Shooting Range Instructor (Ben Pacrem) yesterday at outdoor shooting range PACTACSHOOTING. Since I have been hospitalized for multiple strokes, I thought my life is over and ready to give up all the fun stuff that I love to do and enjoyed.. But, Ben is truly one of the best firearm instructors who compassionately guided me, and not giving up easily on a lame person like me, instead he had proved me that all my negative thoughts about being sick and losing hope for outdoor creativities was unnecessary and wrong! Within only 2 hours of experiencing at his outdoor shooting range event. He monitored everything carefully and finding best safest way for me. Ben, showed me certain techniques, sharing some tips, adjusting, correcting me again and again to better my stand, gripping & aiming. I was surprised even in my ΓÇ£physical limitationsΓÇ¥ after I got stroke that I could do so much better shooting in terms of speed & accuracy (even better than when I was a lot healthier before ). Off course, Ben with his special skills as an Army veteran and with his experiences in law enforcement work + hours of teaching as firearms instructor has made him possess tons of amazing insights, easier & useful techniques options in guiding every single individual according to his/her level, ability or condition. As Ben has proven me yesterday that he also has ΓÇ£hidden skillΓÇ¥ as an ΓÇ£occupational therapistΓÇ¥ for my stroke problem! The Shooting range experience event with Ben, not only helped building my confidence grows stronger in handling firearms, Ben has helped me brings back my hope in having fun in life & not to give up hope when we got physical difficulties. With BenΓÇÖs skill as a professional shooting range instructor, he knows how to make outdoor shooting range so much fun that I didnΓÇÖt realize that I was standing for 2 hours straight! With great guidance about safety, his instructions had helped me restoring back my arm & legΓÇÖ s muscles ability throughout high repetitive movement to build neuropath in order to function again as natural way and in coordination with my eyes on the sight & the target, it was the greatest insight that I have ever learned from a firearm instructor! in 2 hours I better my skill in speed, control & accuracy, that I would never thought in a stroke condition I would be able to hit various plinking targets, close & far with more speed. Thanks to BenΓÇÖs special guidance! Beside Ben is super friendly & kind, very intuitive and compassionate in teaching, his natural ability in coaching, and as an Army veteran, obviously makes I earn greater advantage as his students to learn more, faster with better understanding regarding handling firearms safely in self defense mode. etc. Thanks Ben. It was the best experience & ΓÇ£therapyΓÇ¥ for me. Ever!

We had an incredible day of outdoor shooting, jeep off-roading and sight seeing. Highly recommend the combined package. Ben provided us with a diverse range of pistols and rifles with real time marks man feedback. Not to mention his tank of a Jeep. Will definitely be calling Ben when weΓÇÖre back in Utah.

My husband set up a lesson for me to learn gun safety. I had not used a gun since I was a kid, so I was very nervous. Ben was very professional and made sure safety was number one! By the time the session was over I felt very comfortable and confident with a firearm. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone wanting to learn firearm safety!

Hired PAC-Tacshooting to help us with some insights on our business. Benito came out and spent the day with us. He was very prepared and offered some great advice on how we can grow our business. We would definitely recommend them to any business who wants to prepare for an audit or grow.

Ben is talented with firearms and is great at teaching others what he's learned from his years of experience. Not only is he a skilled firearms instructor, he also has extensive experience in FFL compliance from his time managing a gun shop. So much experience in fact, I trust him to come to Border Tactical, my gun shop here in California to review my A&D books twice a year. If you have an FFL and have any anxiety about a surprise audit from the DOJ or ATF, CALL BEN! Thank you so much Ben for always keeping our store compliant and on the right track.
