In Old English, this resulted in the term "Butt Ugly".

Hey hey hey!  Be nice.  As a bazilionth generation yankee I have a soft spot for the club butt.  I built a Sitting Fox kit a couple years ago when he offered a longer barrel than the one mentioned here.  It comes up fast and points superbly.    True that from a historically correct standpoint mine and the kit being discussed are out in left field.  But if you like the style and want a shooter, go for it and have fun.
On a visit to Old Deerfield a summer or two ago, touring the oldest houses there, I spied tucked in a dark corner a beat up old club butt.  Unique to the region, they represent an interesting local variant that only lasted for a short time.  But they dropped a lot of deer, duck, and things that went bump in the night too, ayuh.
