Narrative:

Hard landing in crab; prop strike; bounce; wingtip strike.crosswind gust coupled with possible wind shear from right during flare at approximately 5 ft. AGL; insufficient correction / control authority resulted in hard landing in 10-15 degree crab; resulting in bounce with nose high; right wing low; applied left rudder and lowered nose to prevent stall; right wingtip struck runway prior to main gear; aircraft directional control recovered; regained full control; tracked down runway; exited runway at taxiway and taxied to ramp.caught by surprise by gust/wind shear just prior to / during touchdown after a normal visual approach. Due to hardness of landing and how quickly control was regained I opted to continue the landing rather than execute balked landing / go around. Considering damage to prop discovered after shutdown; I believe not applying power and going around was the right decision.
