why would they make them bright orange?
that's not generally a common bird colour
I'm puzzled
wouldn't it be better for practice (more challenging) not to make them more visible?
I guess they do that for the poor fools wandering into your range, but I'm not clear how you would duck a clay pigeon, even if it was brightly coloured. From the way they traject I would think they'd never come from where you can see them unless you happen to look up. So the bright colouring is only useful to bird watchers.
What's wrong with me, that I always want to find reasonable explanations for everything?

To make them easier for the shooter to see and to make hits easier to spot and it's not a common bird shape either.

No, because the point is to practice your shooting technique.

of course
I missed that point
perhaps because I too am appalled at the visual impact and don't want there to be a good reason for it
my first though after reading your post was:
the colour can hardly make that much difference when seen against the sky
oh well
it is what it is
