Wait a while and go over and talk to him man to man, face to face.
Just say Hey, not sure if you were aware but your shots were falling around my house and vehicle. Is there a different direct you can throw your clays?
You'll know how to proceed shortly after he answers. Never want to jump to conclusions.

If I knew them well enough to have cell number, I would have ridden my Polaris over and let them know. I am sure he would apologize and take future precautions.
Unfortunately, we have alot of guys that buy and shoot guns that have a very low outdoors IQ. You learn on your first dove hunt as a small boy to be careful of where pollets rain down or an uncle comes down and lets you know in a way that only uncles that have been in a few beers and just got peppered can express it.
you learn cuss words and safety, a twofer.

I would imagine the maximum effective carry for skeet shot is about 150 yards. Close enough to give a shout out

I would have jumped in the side by side and rode over to let them know. When I lived in the country I was on good terms with the one neighbor who could do something like that.
He probably would have offered a new roof at that point.

Leaving out how I handled to see how everyone else would have proceeded from there.

I did pretty much what everyone is saying. Sent the text, they kept peppering the house.
I hopped in my truck and drove over. I did bring my pistol with me, seemed like a dumb idea to go confront someone I know has a gun empty handed. I had no intentions of using it, but we don't know the neighbor that well and better safe than sorry.
Wife was outside and I told her what was going on and she shouted to stop and move. The dad was on his phone when I got there, so I know he saw my text.
Came home and all was fine, they pointed in a different direction, dad sent me a text hours later saying "sorry, just saw this, didn't know you were at that angle" which kinda ticked me off. I responded that I thought it was his boys and he should know what's beyond his target.
The way he handled it you can tell he thought it wasn't a big deal, and generally I don't think it is but I shouldn't have pellets hitting my house, my cars, landing in my pool. That's ridiculous.

Should have fricked her right there. Establish dominance.

If its falling it ain't going to hurt anything.
I was riding bikes on a rural highway with a group when we passed a sporting clays range. We got a shower of lead, from far enough away that we could not see the shooter or anyone else at the range.
One of those falling pellets bloodied the ankle of one guy enough to soak his sock in blood. That would have stung if it hit an eyeball.
