I often have 0 wind when shooting and barrel heat will rise straight up and significantly distort/blur the entire field of view.
I draped a t-shirt over the barrel yesterday and that worked well but is a bit impractical. I can't shoot less or slower. I've seen things that look like a slat from a window blind along the top of the barrel but they look impractical and I think the heat would just rise around it(are those intended to shade a barrel from the sun or what?). I've thought about a cloth tube that slides over the barrel, but it would also greatly hinder cooling. Solutions?
