Tuesday, May 5th 1970.
Footage of King Hussein of Jordan competing with commanders and officers of the Jordanian military at a firing range near the capital city of Amman.
Also taking part were Crown Prince Hassan and the Chief of the Royal Court Zeid Rifai.
The King's objective was to test the weapons used by his troops and to sound out the opinions of his officers as to their effectiveness.
According to Reuters, after challenging his officers to compete with him, the King "was reported to have hit his target with every shot."

Note:
King Hussein, an alumni of Sandhurst Military Academy where he took an accelerated course, was an accomplished pilot of aircraft and, apparently, a sharpshooter. As to whether he was a skilled swordsman and camel rider, I have no idea, but presume that he was given his royal Bedouin lineage.
