Subaru's dont really have anything you can snatch off. They have tie-down points and "recovery" points. The recovery meaning towing along the road.
The safest place to snatch from on most people's standardish Subaru's is the tow bar.
Ideally we need propper rated hooks but again, the lack of an actual chassis makes it difficult to find a good place to bolt those to!

I've snatched from the rear RHS on several occasions with no ill effects. Be gentle though.

The front's ok too if you use both points in unison.

Basically what has been said… Can snatch off then just be careful and gentle and as for the rear (again as it has been stated) use the tow bar just remove the ball – DO NOT snatch off the ball

ns i bought a recovery point ages ago but cant find a suitable place to mount it to.

the front loops will hold for a slight snatch but anything more is likely to rip em off.
