Depending on the way you bent it, yes it would. Otherwise you could put a magnet mod in there too.

you can bend the leaf spring on your opto board to be stiffer. most people bend it near the top to make it lighter, if you bend it straight almost, and curve it out near the bottom, it can be very stiff. do it like how they come out of the box, i believe they are pretty stiff. if it's still not enough resistance for you, add a trigger spring from a LCD, or IR3. some BIC ball point pens work pretty well.
hope i helped.

I bent mine because it was too stiff. You can easily make the trigger stiffer by bending the leaf spring away from the opto trigger by like 1 or 2 mm and you'll get a very stiff trigger pull.
