Narrative:
During approach at approximately 50 feet we received a wind shear warning and initiated a go around. The aircraft yawed to the right on power up. During the go around it appears that the right wingtip made contact with the ground. We thought the right main tire had briefly touched down during the go around; but during the post flight walk around noticed where the right wingtip had brushed the runway leaving a 7'x 2' wide area where the paint had been removed.during the wind shear event we executed the wind shear escape maneuver; but being so close to the ground we briefly scraped the right wingtip. At the time there was weather to the north through northwest which could have caused a microburst. I received the weather from AWOS as we were nearing the airport. Maybe in the future when there is weather in the vicinity of an airport whether it's uncontrolled or controlled keep checking the weather.
