Analysis
The plt stated that his aprch speed was too fast & he touched down about half way down the 3400 ft rwy. Believing that he would not get stopped during the ldg roll, he attempted to go around, but the gear struck a fence near the end of the rwy & dragged the acft back to the ground. The plt stated that he should have decided to go around sooner than he did.
