whats the use?

My own experience has been that there are days where things just don't come together. "Losing" accuracy that soon for me has usually meant problems with scope, excitement at the range, winds more variable than expected and so on.

For me fatigue can be an issue. There comes a point where I just need to quit shooting for the day. I need to practice maintaining the concentration and 'zen' needed for prolonged, accurate shooting. Shots 10-30 are almost always better than rounds 80-100.

... Come to think of it, it may not be a bad idea for someone to come up with some heat sensitive strips to stick to the side of the barrel. Sort of like those old chemical thermometers that changed color, with a "Green/Yellow/Red" indication. On the other hand, it sounds like a solution in search of a problem. (Just lay a hand on the barrel for free.)

Well, that didn't take long.
