RE: New release for 9yr old ...
my son (turns 7 in about 2 weeks) has been using a patriot jr release for over a month now on his first real bow... not a single misfire or anything, he's very safe with it, something he carried over from rifle shooting buy not even touching the trigger until you're ready to go... truthfully, I'd suggest just getting more practice... he'l get more comfy the more he shoots and it will go away...
