Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during an attempted soft field takeoff on a private, non-identified turf airstrip, the aircraft departed the takeoff surface and struck a barbed-wire fence. The pilot stated that he initially pulled the aircraft's nose up prematurely, causing the aircraft to settle back onto the surface. He then allowed the aircraft to accelerate before pulling the nose up a second time, at which point all three wheels left the ground.
