Winact limbs becoming more powerful!

Myself and a fellow archer at North Cheshire Bowmen. Have just purchased pairs of Win&Win Winact carbon limbs (38 and 40 lbs respectively)
We have each only shot about 15 to 18 dozen arrows each with them, whilst setting our sights for 80 and 100 yards .
Both of us were using our pre-stretched pre-shot strings.
Both of us over the evening found despite careful checking of equipment, that our shots were going further (higher) as the long afternoon and evening went on. We can expect to get weary, stretching strings, etc. These factors leading to the arrows falling short, rather than going further.
Neither of us experienced this with our previous fibreglass W&W limbs.
Is this normal behaviour whilst shooting in new carbon limbs. Will they settle down.
13mm increase of sight movement over the evening seems strange.
It was warm, no alcohol involved, no little green men in spaceships, no magic powers involved.
Advice please. (Magic limbs were be purchased from Bowsports and Quicks)
