Claim 9:
10. The crossbow de-cocking mechanism of claim 9 wherein:
the winch assembly includes a spool gear operatively engaged to the spool;
the spool gear has spool gear teeth;
the drive gear has drive gear teeth;
the spool gear teeth engage the drive gear teeth so that rotation of the drive gear causes the spool gear to rotate;
a gear stop implement has gear stop implement teeth that are selectively engageable with the spool gear teeth;
when the gear stop implement teeth are engaged with the spool gear teeth:
1) the spool gear, spool, drive gear and drive shaft are all prevented from rotating with respect to the winch housing;
2) the receiver is rotatable with respect to the drive shaft; and

when the gear stop implement teeth are disengaged from the spool gear teeth:
1) the spool gear, spool, drive gear and drive shaft are all rotatable with respect to the winch housing; and
2) the receiver is rotatable with respect to the drive shaft.
