Prince Charles takes aim at blowpipe target

The Prince of Wales was king of the jungle when he was taught the art of hunting with a blowpipe - and was hailed a natural. Charles got to grips with the ancient weapon when, with the Duchess of Cornwall, he visited a "living village" in Malaysia, showcasing the lifestyles and customs of Borneo tribes. Normally loaded with a poison dart, the weapon is used by the Penan people and others to hunt everything from wild boar and lizards to monkeys. But for Charles the deadly substance was not used and he happily got to grips with the five-foot long blowpipe, following a demonstration at Sarawak Cultural Village near Kuching on the island of Borneo.
