Narrative:

Weather 230-08 knots which then changed to 230-08 knots gusting 15 knots became very turbulent and gusty.on landing; in ground effect at the flare; powered out and the nose rose and aircraft ballooned and on coming back down made very hard contact with the runway at which point it bounced. At this point I selected full power for the go around. While doing this the aircraft returned down to the runway again hitting it hard once more. Full power then took effect and I then continued the go around procedure. After deciding to stop touch and goes and land as it no longer felt safe to be in the pattern I made a full stop and taxied to parking. On tying down the aircraft I noticed that two of the three props had struck the ground. (Only lightly; so light that I was unaware at the time so I can only assume that this was the incident that caused it.)
