Prs scope reticle

I prefer a non-tree reticle and run the Nightforce Mil-C on all my comp guns. Lots of top level guys using standard, non-tree reticles since they don't obstruct your vision as much and let you see downrange impacts better.
Holdover stages with lots of wind aren't usually a problem, there are ways you can strategize around them. An example would be to dial in wind for the closest target then hold slightly more for farther targets.

Love my Christmas tree when using holdovers for 22 rimfire in wind.
It’s a fluid situation. Was no tree and then trees came out and were the best thing since sliced bread and as the game changed “top guys” started going back to no tree reticles and now that’s the cool thing and everywhere you look people will tell you to go no tree.
My advice is use what you feel comfortable with. I have been shooting the sport for 23 years now and have used both and I like the versatility of the tree reticles and why I use them. I have no issues with seeing trace or impacts or misses to make adjustments, which all are the complaints on the internet. So use what you have now and see what you like and use it.
Finale shooters are generally are split on simple milling + reticles vs. Christmas trees.
I like Christmas trees, in general, but have simpler milling + reticles also, and shoot the same scores between any of them. Pre-covid, we used to have more matches which had stages which required “dial once” so we were required to hold over on the stage - and Christmas trees were more useful then. But that’s been years, and most of us just don’t do much holding over in the reticle alone for large spans of different ranges.

Good plan. See how you like it and if it doesn’t leave you wanting then stick with that style. Don’t shoot one or two matches and go buy a new scope. Shoot a season and see how it works.
Practice holds as well as there are plenty of us that use holds all the time. Holds can save you time on the clock which is good for a beginner. Practice at home and leave the scope at 0 and practice the day just using holds. It will help you learn how to do it and trust it.
