maximizing solo class expFollow

Has anyone tested combat in different ways to maximize the class experience gained? I had some questions to whether or not the following ways are effective:

1. Is it best to use regular shot, skills, actions that consume TP, or doesn't matter?

2. Should I try and purposefully make the monster path back so it regains hp (by fighting on a ledge or hill etc) so I can get in more shots to get more exp?

3. Does using a different bow/arrow type vary the exp gain (damage difference excluded)?

4. What con mobs (solo-able) give the greatest exp (is risk vs reward implemented)?

5. Is there an exp cap per fight (like a maximum class skill exp I could theoretically gain)?

If anyone has any feedback on the questions I posed it would be appreciated. Sorry if any of this has been covered already, but I would like a single source for anything archery exp related.

500 is the cap for exp per mob. Ive lvl'd off island crabs with a con/thm duo, me as a pugilist, and several times, i would be getting great skill ups and then all of a sudden, i would get a skill up of like 5, and not get any more after. At the end, i would get 500 skill exp, and this happened several times to me and my partner.
