I fall in this camp. My Knight Revolution hits a little high and right on a clean, cold bore. I run a wet and dry patch after each shot and the follow up shots group low and left. They are close enough for hunting purposes so I don't expect to aim any different for a follow up shot than I do on the first shot. I did site it in for the first shot on a cold, clean barrel.

I have not noticed any real difference on the TC Encore Pro Hunter between cold, clean barrel and a warm, dirty barrel.
