Is a battery operated fan on the shooting bench pointed toward the barrel or a barrel mirage shield better to avoid barrel mirage, or both? When there's a breeze it blows away barrel mirage and I don't need the shield, so I would expect the fan to do the same. I've been thinking about a fan since I expect it would also keep the barrel from getting too hot; when a breeze is present I have noticed, using my IR temp gun, that the barrel cools much faster than when there's no breeze/wind. What's your experience? All thoughts are welcome!
Bench-top fan or a barrel mirage shield to avoid barrel mirage?

I like both but if I had to choose one or the other, I'd say the fan.

I'd be interested what the experts say about this, I had fans on me since the '50s and sure didn't consider them "electronics" but they were electric, totally different ballgame! ;-)
Does that also include the electronic Anti-Cant devices that I have seen advertised ?
