Narrative:

Landing on runway 21 with winds reported from 220 at 11; I crossed the numbers; rolled out; and floated. The plane suddenly dropped on the runway; hitting hard on the mains; causing it to bounce back up. Felt the tail lifting causing the nose to drop and the plane hitting hard on the runway a second time. Felt severe vibrations and bouncing back up; applied full power; climbed back up to traffic pattern altitude entered left pattern for a successful landing. Airplane taxied with no control problems and I parked at the designate area. Tower personnel sent ground personnel to check the plane for possible damage before I shut down the engine. They did not see any damage. After shutting down I inspected the airplane and found that the nose wheel fairing and propeller tips (rolled back 1/4 to 1/2 inch;) were damaged.
