The troopers never became bad shots. Strong force users a a bloodline trait. By the time of New Hope there are three bloodlines left, Palpatine, Skywalker and Kenobi, of which one is likely to have descendants, through two of its members. The Force, flowing through all living beings, acts to ensure their survival, through blaster bolt deflection.
That's because during the clone wars they were highly trained clones of one of the best bounty hunters ever. During the Imperial reign, once the clones started to be killed in larger numbers, and they didn't have access to more, they started recruiting regular citizens as stormtroopers, and they didn't get a ton of training. Also Palpatine used the Force to control and direct a great number of his army, the effects of which basically made it so stormtroopers and such while very obedient, weren't as effective as free willed forced would have been.

It's not Horn. His real last name is "Halcyon" (I think that's how it's spelled). But that's getting into expanded universe now, beyond the scope of the movies.
