I'm wondering how many people shoot with some sort of a wet wrap on their barrel, when the shooting (and temps) is hot and heavy? I frequently rotate 2 or 3 guns, and wrap the barrel with a wet towel when I pull the gun off the line/table. But I've been giving thought to a more permanent solution (so I don't have to rotate guns if I don't want to) whereby I was thinking about wrapping the barrel with a long strip of synthetic shammy that'll hold a good amount of water. I might try cutting a long 2" wide strip and wrapping the barrel tight like a tennis racquet handle. I'd try to keep wet/damp while shooting. Surely this would keep the barrel from getting too hot, but I don't know if there would be much change to POI as water weight changed/evaporated...sort of like moving a tuner around, surely it would have some effect. (I also get some POI change as my barrel starts getting really hot, especially notable in one of my rigs, so maybe the POI concern would all work out as a wash).
