    Yes the angle works good for deflection. Once you get further out in range though flat hanging targets give better movement from impacts as hit energy transfers increases. Especially with smaller calibres on bigger targets or further distance.
    Just reading that Hardox 500 is a bit less durable than AR500 from what I've read, does it sit equivalent between good AR450 and AR500 ?
