Broken Spring? Maybe?

Hello. I have a Ruger AirHawk and when I break the barrel the it doesn't click at the end and it won't fire. Do I have a broken spring?

If you shoot a lot.  At one point or another you have to learn to take your gun apart.  It may be your spring but need to take it apart no matter what anyways to check it out.  JMO

I bought it and got it lined up and when I took it hunting it broke...

Hard to know for sure without more info. But is it smooth when you cock it or does it hang or drag? Any crunching sounds? You might be able to flip the gun over and look closely in the cocking slot and SEE if the spring is broken. Other issues could be with the safety or a dislodged sear spring in the trigger group. SEVERAL different thngs can cause this. By any chance did you tweak the trigger screw? That could also be the cause. Getting it adjusted too far can cause the sear to not latch or cause an unsafe condition where it will fire on it's own.
Happy Shooting!!!!

If it still feels the same when you try to cock it but just doesn't catch something in your trigger group is probably messed up.

yes I have a very hard drag when I pull down on the barrel.
