Where would this be, PT?
EVERYTHING you want your arrow to pass through is inside that cage. How do you avoid them?
absolutely they are an obstacle .... that's why i shoot right for the center of the kill area ....

Whitetail ribs are not an obstackle to any well tuned bow and arrow combination. They're no problem to a recurve or long bow either with the right broadhead. It's a plus if you can slipbetween them simply because it makes less of a smack which I think sends the deer a little faster and further. If you are lucky enough to slip between them going in and out the deer just hear a noise and usually only take a couple hops before stopping to see what the racket was...... and then they fall over. Bust a rib and they always seem to run as far as they can before they smack into a tree or something and fall. But if you're in the ribs and out the ribs they aren't going far 99 out of a 100 times.

If you are looking for a way to solve 80% -90% of bow hunting problems leading to the failure to recover hit deer. then Make 25 yards the maximum you will shoot at a deer and strive for under twenty ,and your recovery record will be very close to 100%.

And no, I don't believe ribs are an obstacle - as you are pulling more than 35 lbs or so and avoiding strong quartering shots.
Have you ever seen a well placed shot bounce off a rib and fail to penetrate the chest cavity? I haven't. Ribs don't scare me at all.
