As Jay mentioned it's not going to matter for most of us as we don't
have sponsors paying us to advertise on our rifles. Officially, you
are allowed 3 'sponsor' decals. Two of them must not be larger than
50 square centimers and the third must be smaller than 25 square
centimeters. This rule should be valid from 2006-2010 unless the IBU
changes their mind. The official document showing the allowed
placement is at: http://www.biathlonworld.com/media/media_0554720.PDF.
Rifle info is on page 11, Section B.5.b
