What type of retical is most popular for EBR?

Sightron fixed 45x, small micro dot in center of cross hairs. Take my input with a grain of salt because I am a newbie and certainly no expert.

I've never done ebr. Do they shoot at different distance or is it just a long way off? I ask because if your allowed to rezero between switching distance a mil dot reticle would not be necessary. When I go shooting and know for a fact that I am only doing a certain range like 100 yards I prefer a thin reticle with no extra stuff. Perhaps a small tiny dot in the middle. I'm interested to see how ebr works. I'm going to do some you tubing tonight

This is just my opinion so.... and you'll get different views on this subject.

EBR has different COF's.

For BR I'd prefer to use 40x -ish magnification at the fixed distances because I don't like the image starting to dim out like often happens at 50x. I think a fair amount of the higher scoring shooters would use something like a 10-50 variable scope. If it's normal winds a dot reticle would be fine by using the scoring rings for holdoffs. If it's windy I would personally use a reticle with hash marks to gauge holdoffs, and these type of reticles are what I use for all the comps, prefered especially for AFT, and I use FFP scopes as well. 

Daylight bright illume could help if a AFT target is shaded. 

A thicker reticle isn't a bad thing I guess, just shoot then move the reticle out of the way to see where you hit and go back at shooting again.

The quick solution is - don't use a black bullseye.

Newbie here but I prefer a ffp variable with a Christmas tree reticle for hold over/off when the wind really gets going.

I am assuming you are asking about 100 yd BR? As that is the main event, if not, versatility and ffp would definitely be part of the conversation.

if you are focused on 100 br then ffp really does you no good, your shooting the same distance the whole time. Most people are using scopes 25x plus, I personally like a very busy Retical with lots of reference points, the wind can move you 3-4 mils back and forth and you don’t really want to try and chase that with dials. I do know that 3 or 4 of the top 15 last year was using the Hawke sidewinder 10x50x60 Ed sfp, just for reference

Another positive of 100yd shooting is all the scopes you would pass over because of a 25yd or 50yd close focus are usable. Good luck with your search. 

I’m a big fan of the Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x52 with ECR-1 reticle for 100 yard BR events. Usually shoot at 40x.
