Ouch! I have not experienced this (Thankfully), but it's good to know what to do if it ever does! Thanks Nate!

So would it reset if you decock by holding the lever and pulling the trigger? I’d be a little nervous pulling the trigger with the lever back, I did it once by accident and it slammed the probe forward, don’t want to do that again.

That is ridiculous 
as mangling probe that badly only comes with a temper tantrum or crazy unhinged frustration.
Dude learn some mechanical common sense !!!

ALWAYS hold lever back while pulling trigger! It removes possibility of it slamming forward.

How the heck do you mangle a probe this badly?
Ok the gun doesn't cock properly. Pull the mag out.
You can't pull the mag out? Hold the lever and decock and try again.
You can't decock? Remove all air and start stripping the rifle to find the cause.
This was some next level magazine hammering.

Yes, My fault, I hammerd mag out thinking the bolt being back meant the probe HAD TO be back. It was not.

Too busy to work on an air rifle. I just sent it in for repair. Sometimes if a pellet is stuck half way into the barrel, a magazine hammering is the right thing to do and it sheers the pellet off and no one gets hurt. That had been my only experience after 400 rifles of having a mag stuck in a breach...so it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Ooops! Also, who has ever heard or a charging handle being all the way back and the probe not following? Freaky FX rifle...

On the DRS Classic I have to reset the trigger now about 6 times each magazine. So about half the shots. It gets annoying. I just want to shoot the gun.

Man both drs guns you have ? Crazy…I really wish I could get off the FX train. They shoot so well when everything is good for me though. Just might have to however

You can see the probe location if you look at the rifle from the side.
You ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS first check where the probe is located and if it's not jamming the magazine due to different reasons (usually a badly set trigger or maybe a probe screw that gets loose).
Then you can shear off the jammed pellet when you're 100% sure it's the pellet. Although the better method is putting the gun to safe, holding the cocking handle and using a dowel or a cleaning rod to reseat the pellet into the mag.

Yeah easy button is cleaning rod down the barrel not jacking up a $50 magazine and $20 probe.

Yes, I have a wooden dowel for that. I have done it many times.
Since both my DRS do that, I need to figure out how to fix that. My DRS classic now does it about half of all the shots, I have to hit my trigger to reset it.

Did you set the trigger or the spring? Because it seems to me that sear is not catching the hammer but the spring itself or something else before the hammer (I didn't strip my gun yet so I'm working from past experience). It seems to me that the gun thinks it's cocked when it's not. That's usually the spring or trigger that are not set properly.

My Taipan Vet 2 did the exact same thing. Bolt wouldn't come back all the way 3 out of 10 shots, I had to pull the trigger and then it came back fine. The sear itself was too sensitive. I adjusted the sear and that was it. It's been perfect for the last 3000 shots. I suspect the same is with Nate's FX. The trigger is adjusted so that it performs near perfect, but sometimes a tweak is needed to make it reliable. Adjusting the sear on my Taipans trigger worked and did nothing to take away from how great the trigger still feels. Play with the adjustments just a little, you'll learn how to get the settings you want and eventually you will figure it out. It's not broken, it just needs tweaked s smidge.
