While on short final to a 500 foot long, grass field, the homebuilt aircraft clipped the top wire of a fence and then collided with terrain. The pilot reported that the aircraft could be landed in 150 feet of ground roll.

Probable Cause: the pilot's misjudgment of distance and altitude on final approach, and his failure to maintain proper clearance from an object (fence) in his approach path. The fence was a related factor.
