If you want to 1 hit archers and you're int you can do this in 2 ways. I remember that I could 1 hit archers by having full +3 int items and leveling to at least 20-22 and then deleveling to 16. You keep the extra int that you added so when you delevel you are slightly stronger. I could 1 hit archers using a sos+4 16 bow that had high mag attack and using fire imbue with masteries at 7. With a som 16 bow you can 1 hit quite easily. I'm not too sure since I don't play anymore but if your equipment also has str on it, this may reduce magical balance and therefore magical attack with your bow.

The second way is to level up higher before you farm at 16 such as reach lvl 30 first with a zero gap and do the curst hearts quest. This will only take around a week at most if you level moderate to fast. This way, I managed to 1 hit archers with a som+4-5 8 bow or a sos+3-4 16 bow at lvl 16. For str players, you will need to hit lvl 30 or so (preferably higher) and need full +3 int on all your items as well as a som+4 16 bow or higher to 1 hit archers. Note that 1 hitting archers generally increases your farming rate 20-30% at most. It depends whether the bandit stronghold is crowded or not.

If you want 1k sp per hour you definitely need a gold ticket to do so. The best place for this is at the bandit stronghold at the archers. You need to position yourself in the middle of one of the four corners up on the stronghold. Some spots have better spawn rates than others. Set your fire imbue to hotkey 1 and auto-mp pot on. Then zoom out as far as you can, hold down the left ctrl button with your left thumb, then hold down 1 with your finger. This way you are continually imbueing and you can also 1 click-attack monsters. All you have to do to farm is rotate the screen and click on the archers that appear. This is the easiest way to farm.

If you are only getting 300-350 sp per hour then you are not efficient enough in killing the archers. Are you also travelling back to town during this time at all? If so, add some durability to your bow or bring more items to keep you going. 500 sp per hour with no gold ticket is also only if you do not pick up gold drops. Usually, with a gold ticket you can farm 2.8-3.2k sp in 3 hours. With a som 16 bow, you can farm on Chakjis near the ferry which has a sp rate a bit lower than archers since there are many bots but chakjis also give better drops. Hyungnos in donwhang can also be used to farm at the same rate of archers but you must have very good gear (e:g som/sosun items and a som/sosun bow) and bring medium pots. Also, I hear that Bandits drop sos 16 bows and Hyungnos can drop som 16 bows.

Have fun farming then...if that is possible...

Som bow (or any bow you can 1 hit with)
Squirrel
GT
And KS the hell out of everyone (unpolite yet effective)

TBA added str doesn't decrease you mag balance, thus add str too on your gear.

One very important thing I forgot is that when you farm, always make sure you are in a full 'Exp Distribution' and 'Item Distribution' Party. This way you should get bonus sp per kill which can add up to a lot after the thousands of archers you have to kill.

som 16+4 bow, full som gear with total +32 int with GDF and i can almost 2 hit bandits (not archers, those i can 1hit)
if your full int, like my guildm8, you need only +3 int on 6 or 7/11 items (6 gear, 4 jewlery, 1 wep) and GDF and your good to go for 1 hitting bandit archers

stick a coin on your ctrl key button. set camera angle on free visual. turn camera with right hand on mouse, keep one finger on imbue. spam imbue like crazy.

you also need som bow, or sos w/ a ton of int gear.

That sounds awesome, that means that it won't be impossible for me to get ~1k SP/hour at lvl 42, where I plan to farm 40-50k SP (I don't use a GT, but maybe I should buy one...).
