I had to reload and take another shot to get a doe last weekend.
Has anyone else had these problems and do you know of any possible remedies?

had the same problem with mine,,,,take the hammer extension off and take a flashlight and check your hammer over real well,,,my hammer was cracked and it finally broke last week,,,this has been a real problem with the encores and hammer extensions,,,quick fix= call t/c and tell them your problem,,,they will send you a prohunter hammer and just replace it yourself or take it to a local gunsmith,,,,,i have had my encore 5 yrs and would'nt trade it for anything! heres a website ,,,this guy knows encores inside and out,,,theres alot of good reading on how to tweak your gun for the best accuracy.
