Correct use of shackles

Assume the following; you are going to do a snatch recovery, you have no winch, the vehicle to be recovered has only one recovery point which is a closed recovery point with a large oval hole installed by a well known 4WD establishment, and you are going to connect your rated snatch strap to this recovery point with a rated bow shackle and lastly, like most recoveries the pull will not be dead straight but have some small angle.
Do you;
1. Put the bow shackle through the recovery point and then the pin through the snatch strap eye?
2. Put the bow shackle through the eye of the snatch strap and then the pin through the recovery point?

This is another camp fire topic.
What other people think of me is none of my business.
Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.
