Narrative:
I was making a touch-and-go at tki in a piper archer. Aircraft landed flat and began to porpoise. After about 4 cycles, I applied power and lifted off. On next landing, I realized nosewheel was blown. I full stopped, but was unable to clear active. During tow, I saw that one propeller blade was bent, approximately 2 inches from tip. During the go around, there were no vibrations or unusual engine indications. I am an airline pilot, currently an first officer on B757. I had not flown a small aircraft in 10 yrs prior to my check out 2 weeks prior to this incident. I had 6 lndgs on my chkout. This event occurred on my first landing after the chkout.
