Narrative:
Took off at apa, VFR, to ase airport. As I crossed red table, tower cleared me to land runway 15, r-hand turn. I made the approach, landed past the numbers and set the plane down. All of a sudden, the plane rose from the runway and as I put her down again it porpoised twice. I gave full throttle and climbed out turning north to avoid traffic. Tower noticed and said the wind may have picked me up and the front wheel appeared to be moving. On the second approach, I landed the plane and as I applied the brakes, the plane started to vibrate severely, so I held off the nosewheel as best I could and tower called to say my cowling appeared to be vibrating and front nosewheel free wheeling and shaking. Upon return to the apron, the plane taxiing back had no vibration at all. Upon shutting plane down, we noticed the propeller was bent -- 'propeller strike.' I had no indication or feeling of it. I have landed this plane at least 200+ times with no event.

Title: PLT OF SR22 EXPERIENCES PROP STRIKE ON LNDG AT ASE WHEN LNDG GOES AWRY, POSSIBLY DUE TO GUSTY WINDS. GOES AROUND AFTER 2 PORPOISES ON RWY 15 AND DISCOVERS DAMAGED PROP AFTER SUBSEQUENT SAFE LNDG.
Narrative: TOOK OFF AT APA, VFR, TO ASE ARPT. AS I CROSSED RED TABLE, TWR CLRED ME TO LAND RWY 15, R-HAND TURN. I MADE THE APCH, LANDED PAST THE NUMBERS AND SET THE PLANE DOWN. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE PLANE ROSE FROM THE RWY AND AS I PUT HER DOWN AGAIN IT PORPOISED TWICE. I GAVE FULL THROTTLE AND CLBED OUT TURNING N TO AVOID TFC. TWR NOTICED AND SAID THE WIND MAY HAVE PICKED ME UP AND THE FRONT WHEEL APPEARED TO BE MOVING. ON THE SECOND APCH, I LANDED THE PLANE AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE PLANE STARTED TO VIBRATE SEVERELY, SO I HELD OFF THE NOSEWHEEL AS BEST I COULD AND TWR CALLED TO SAY MY COWLING APPEARED TO BE VIBRATING AND FRONT NOSEWHEEL FREE WHEELING AND SHAKING. UPON RETURN TO THE APRON, THE PLANE TAXIING BACK HAD NO VIBRATION AT ALL. UPON SHUTTING PLANE DOWN, WE NOTICED THE PROP WAS BENT -- 'PROP STRIKE.' I HAD NO INDICATION OR FEELING OF IT.
