This isn't something I set out to prove but rather something that I just found out 
I have had a biscuit on one of my bows since day one and the bow was dogging it compared to the factory suggested performance specifications ..... I didn't know (or care) why because this was a test bow for me.
( Needed an average rig for testing )
Here is the biscuit performance as seen below.
This is the performance with a Quad drop away as seen below.
Today I spent some time shooting the quad and here is my opinion....not a fact....maybe it is , I am not making claims as statement of fact on my part
But....I do find it very interesting and rather easy to prove out
What I found was that the biscuit allowed more room for hand placement error but not alot by comparison to the quad.
My belief would be (for now) that the compression of the arrow's fletch ( when passing through the biscuit ) is what is gaining that slight edge.
At least this would be something to consider which would make sense.
Now....is that beneficial enough to put back on the biscuit?
IMO....no.
The reason being that my shot error was far greater at longer distances with the biscuit and distance is the most often situation which a hunter is faced with.
With the shoot through rest , my 35 yard pin became my 40 and my 25 became my 30.
This is far more important IMO.
Just an FYI to those out there such as myself who were not actually aware of the performance differences
