Is it enough air for the new huntsman? Newbie question

The best I get is my wife feigns interest for about 5 seconds, then gets that “you’re gonna man-splain stuff now” look. She’s kinda right, of course.
That said, she is supportive of my hobby, and rarely balks at my purchases, which are myriad.

you wont get many shots with a low pressure fill , and each time it gets fewer and fewer shots, it reminds me of 15 years ago i did that , having a way to fill your tank will make filling your gun quick and silent and no compressors to mess with ,

Do net hesitate, buy the compressor.
Remember that married man should always be conscious of science.
Science have confirmed and re-confirmed that no man, at all, is as smart as his girlfriend believes nor as stupid as his wife perceives him !!
Go for the compressor with conviction.

I'm using a $200 compressor and I fill 2 other people's pcps. Probably 100 fills so far and I keep waiting for it to die . I purchased a second one with a 3 year warranty for just over 200 bucks. I'm going to buy a Yong Heng next and set it up in the shop with a good filter.
But the small compressor I'm using would fill a Huntsman for years.
Now I'm sure you will hear horror stories from some owners but my first one has easily paid for itself.

Wow. Lots of great options. I was wondering if this idea will work for me, as I do not shoot as much as a lot of you probably do.
Let's see if I can get this across clearly.
Purchase a small compressor, either the 200 dollar one or the 900 dollar one from AOA. The "trail" compressor.
Use it to fill the huntsman while shooting here at the home range.
Now, if, I go out to shoot pests, can I have the dive shop fill my tank to the 3200 they can manage and then use the small compressor to "top off" the tank to
4500? Will that lessen the workload for the compressor and make it last longer?
I do not mind the trips to the dive shop. Plenty of time on my hands.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Doc

The small compressor is portable with 12v leads for a car battery. I would not use it for topping off a 4500 psi tank beyond what a professional pump does.
It's rated for 500cc tanks max. I fill our pcps to 210 bar around 3000 psi. It's a lot easier on my pump and probably why it keeps going.
I would definitely get the yong hen for topping off scuba tanks.
Also 30-40 shots is plenty for hunting. Only hunting prairie dogs or feed lots would I ever need more shots .

ok. I was wondering which way to go. Just found a Yong Heng with auto stop on amazon. Get the 3-year protection?
Purple compressor oil? Extension filler hose? anything else?
Recommendations for filter?

I haven't used a extended service plan through Amazon, so not sure what to expect. It was an extra 30 bucks for 3 years. It sucks Amazon doesn't show the extended warranty plan on their site. You have to go to the plans website. I'm really doubting my new compressor will make it 3 years.
The Yong Hen is water cooled and some use antifreeze. I have never owned one , but I'm sure others can tell you about the oil , filter and airline needed. Mine is maintenance free and the included filter and airline work fine, inside the house ,where I keep the humidity low.
