Narrative:

After an uneventful landing at Z1W on runway 15, I attempted to turn the aircraft around on the runway, but did not have enough room, so I taxied onto the gravel adjacent to the runway. In the process, after having taxied about 30-50 ft, I heard a sound, stopped the engine, got out and noticed that the propeller had sustained damage.
