Std Deviation or Extreme Spread

[TejasPS]

When testing reloads and picking accuracy nodes, do you pay attention to SD or ES?

Both.

Lower the sd typically lower the es.

Tejas,

Both SD and spread are related because they both give you an idea of the variance of a string of shots. High variance = higher numbers, lower variance = lower numbers in both. If I had to pick one, SD is descriptive of all the variances and not just the two outliers (or spread).
