I'm not a serious clays shooter, but I can often see the shot cloud. I have 20/15 vision, but I don't think that is the key. You need to look through it, not try to focus on it. It is a dim shadow against the sky.

"Smoke" is an excellent description. A smoke cloud is a cluster of small particles, after all.
