Back when I was training bow, you chose Strafe or AR first. Strafe people went to Squids, AR people went to Pirates. I did Strafe first, I liked it.
If you can find a Newties map, with max Strafe you can stand on the sniping spot and kill newts. It's very boring and anybody can KS you out, but it's not nearly as dangerous as actual training and you will only spend money on mana potions while you're sniping. Some archmages might allow you to snipe the newt on their map because it lets them stand further on their ledge and that can save them pots.
