Instead I am writing a somewhat disappointing entry.  My Crosman Sierra Pro bit the dust today.<\/p>\n<p>After getting really comfortable with the sights on the gun, I decided to scope the Sierra Pro this afternoon, right before sunset, or as I like to call it, squirrel hunting time.  After getting the scope on, I took the gun out to sight in the scope, and could not get the damn thing to cock.  My assumption is that the mainspring is broken.  I can break the barrel, but it just will not catch\/cock.<\/p>\n<p>I am frustrated with the timing.  I planned to do a lot of shooting today, tomorrow, and Christmas Eve.  I am not sure how long it will take me to track down someone from Crosman to put in a return authorization.  The gun does have a one year limited warranty, and the good folks at Crosman have already replaced my scope.  I don\u2019t doubt that Crosman will repair (or replace) my Sierra Pro.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the Crosman customer service form is down for maintenance, it is the weekend, it is Christmas week, and I expect shipping the gun to Crosman will be a pain.  I do not have a box for shipping a gun, and I am sure it will cost a pretty penny.<\/p>\n<p>The only silver lining is that I may have something more interesting to shoot on Christmas.  More to come on that later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I planned to write about some shooting that I did earlier today, complete with best pellets per group, highest and lowest scoring group, and standard deviation per group.
