[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1855804, member: 108965"] We used towels that we would soak in water from the ice chests to cool down the barrels. This was and still is done when there arent many shooters in the match or if several shooters use the same rifle, this was done to maintain accuracy and not burn out the barrel. With towels no water gets in the barrel. Shooting silhouette you fire 10 rounds under 6 minutes or less and when its 115 degrees outside the barrels take forever to cool down, thats if you call 115 degrees cool Lol. I never saw anyone dip the barrel in water but towels are used still. [/QUOTE]
