http://i.imgur.com/UgaQgMD.pngIt's a attacking strategy where attackers use only barbarians and archers, so they don't put a lot of money into troops, but if used effectively gain a lot of gold,elixir and dark elixir. Heroes and spells are good to have, because they can get you to 50%, or help you get to that one storage you couldn't get without them. A lot of people like to add some wall breakers to make barbarians and archers go deeper inside the base and destroy those storages.
Welcome!!
In this guide I will try to explain you how to use barch most effectively on TH7. Consider that these are my suggestions and what I think its the best way, someone else may think differently, but this is what I use when using barch. I will try and use as less text as possible, but have a lot of pictures. Note that I made this pictures in GIMP, and I'm a complete noob at working in GIMP, hope the guide is helpful, now let's get to the guide!
Update:New pictures thanksto my buddy Trux!!

Please check out his TH7 barch guide also!!
Introduction:
I know you will probably say there are a lot of barch guides already, but they are mostly focused on th9-10. I was struggling to get my barch to a good level, mainly because barch guides are for th9-10..
Sorry if my grammar isn't very good, because we don't speak English here. I tried to correct it as my as possible with Google Translate.

1.What is barch?
Someone may think this is a weird combination, but I think it's very good. Here's the explanation:
First lighting spell is used to destroy clan castle troops(mainly it will be archers or barbarians), so if dropped correctly can take out all of them.
The rage spell is good when needing just a little more power to get the troops inside and destroy those storages, I rarely use it, because it's expensive, not that I have no money, but it costs more than the troops! And it takes a lot of time to make it. It can be handy sometime when needed.
The second lighting spell I rarely use and it's used to destroy some low health building when you are at 49%, so you gain that 50%. I don't recommend using it to destroy the troops if the first one didn't do the job.
The picture explains the most.I know that someone will say you should use less barbarians than archers, but I found this the best.
Gold and elixir: When I got to TH7 I was finding very good loot around 1000.Then later on when my upgrades got little more explensive I needed to move up a bit and I was founding very good loot between 1100-1200 trophies.If you are already a very nicely developed townhall 7 you can find good loot at gold lll also..
Dark elixir:Anywhere in gold league is good, just be careful if you go to high up you are going to lose your dark elixir, so try seeing where you can steel good amounts, but not lose your darke elixir.
5.How to use barch in a good way
In this section I will include tons of pictures to make it easy for you to understand. Below each picture there will be an explanation, so you understand the picture easier. The loot in this raid is nothing, I just wanted to show you, so don't look at the loot, the raid is what you should look at :)
So here it is:
1.http://oi57.tinypic.com/n6dd06.jpg
Examine the base. Is the loot in the mines/collectors or in the storages? And are clan castle lurable, and where they can be lured. In this case its at the bottom of the base, and the loot is in the mines and collectors and that what we are going for. I recommend taking out builder huts if they are in the corners(like here), so you get that 50% easier, if thats what you want and later on you'll see that it helped.
2.http://oi62.tinypic.com/xku6xj.jpg
Check for clan castle troops. If there's no troops in the clan castle awesome! But if some archer and barbarians come out take 'em out with one of those spell. If a dragon comes out destroy him with barbarians and archers, don't be stupid to drop a lightning spell on him!!
3.http://oi61.tinypic.com/r7kaas.jpg
If mines/collectors aren't in range of any building you can drop a small pile of archer to take it out quicker, that's what I did there on the right side.
4.http://oi57.tinypic.com/vsnltx.jpg
In barch barbarians are used like giants, have good amount of health, but dont deal much damage, and that's what we are using it for, as a shield for archers. And archers are like wizards, they deal good damage, but don't take much. So, we are dropping a line of barbarians to act like a shield, we aren't dropping them after archers, because archers are quicker and they are a long range unit. Then we drop a line of archers(wich you will see in the next picture) to do the damage and take out buildings.
http://oi60.tinypic.com/r6wkkz.jpg
In this picture we can see that line of archers, that I was talking about earlier, and we can also see I'm dropping another line of barbarians. We are dropping that line when we see that our first row of barbarians is dying out and the defenses will start shooting the archers, and that's something we don't want, so you should drop another line of barbarian when you see that you are left with just couple of the first ones, so you keep that shield going. Here's another example:

5.http://oi62.tinypic.com/b6eix1.jpg
So, when you took out most of mines/collectors, pick one side that you will try to get 50%. I chose the upper side because there were a lot of building left, so I dropped all my barbarians and archers and my king. If you need to you can drop your clan castle troops. Now if you are at 49% and you noticed that one building has very low health, try dropping the second lighting spell to take it out, remember this is a risk and don't do it if you didn't steal much loot.
