You can also probably get a lot more shots by lowering the time the solenoid is open for when you don't need 100 feet. We had a 5 gal tank @ ~120 psi that fed through a regulator into a 1 gal tank @ ~60 psi and we were able to get 8-10 shots at >50 ft (not even completely optimized) before dropping below 60 psi in the main tank. By my calculations, your tank is ~ 9 gal, so you easily have the energy to get well over 10 good shots, it's just about how efficiently you use it.
