A system and method for managing connections between a server and a plurality of clients at a network connection management device is provided. A casting surface is provided having at least one raised antenna pattern extending therefrom. Socket contacts are loaded into the contact channels, with each socket contact including a contact body extending along a longitudinal axis between mating and mounting ends. The opening is adapted and configured such that a shaft such as, for example, walkingwading sticks, staffs, canes and tree limbs can be inserted through the opening and the height of the bow rest above a surface can be quickly and easily adjusted. The front strap extends through a buckle that is attached to an adjustable-length buckle strap. Electrolytically removing the conductive material can reduce the downforce applied to the workpiece.
