yeah i suppose so...but doesn't lower cocking pressure reduce kickback? also i have this problem with my Ram...it seems to be leaking out the back, becuase when it is in the rest position, i can hear air leaking out the back of the ram, but when i pull and hold the trigger (classic plus mode) the leak stops, and when i release the trigger there is no leaking sound for like 3 seconds then it starts again. i think it was Skeet who said it might be bacause my cocking pressure was too high...but i'm not sure...i'm kinda new to cockers
