I'm heading from sea level to 11,000ft for the Utah "Total Archery Challenge" Wednesday and just wondering if I'll need to turn down my draw weight to adjust for the thinner air. Anybody doing that?
I wouldn't adjust my draw weight but I would definitely check my zero once I got there.
Making sure my pins are still on (20 through 60). Traveling from Florida is a long way, like Rosin said. Elevation wont be much of an effect. I'd be more worried about heating up in the bow case and getting string stretch or something like that.Zero?

I have some experience with this. The research I did led me to adjust the draw weight on my bow when I was going from Phoenix (1,250 ft) to a high country elk hunt (11,000+ ft). I checked my POI when I arrived and I was most certainly hitting high at all yardages. A half turn down on each limb got me to a perfect POI. It wasn't much but it definitely helped. Remember to turn down each limb an equal amount.
Your pins will be off, if you're good enough to tell. You can take maybe 1/4 turn out of the btm limb and probably be good. Your biggest hurdle will be dealing with the uphill/downhill/sidehill shots if you haven't had much experience with that stuff.
Make sure all your camo matches and you'll want to wear a full set, gators to the hat.

You generally won’t need to make any adjustments until 89 and farther. Randy Ulmer wrote an article years ago about this and the difference was negligible. So negligible that most archers don’t shoot well enough to see the difference.
