AR500 plates are definitely very suboptimal. They are heavy and the spalling generated from taking hits will end up killing you anyway. Get a decent set of lvl4 ceramics like RMA, Hesco, or Guardian - multi-curve for your front plate, and single for the back. They weigh a ton less and the spalling won't murder you.
I shoot steel plates a lot at my outdoor range, and the wood frames are spaceD a foot or more away from the plates but they are absolutely torn up from bullet and jacket fragments. I don't want that going through my arms and neck.
