Narrative:
I was practicing landing for my commercial check ride. On the fifth landing I turned final; lowered the gear and felt increased drag and proceeded with a gump checklist. I felt the plane touchdown on what I believed was the main gear which was followed by prop strikes. Upon witnessing the sparks and hearing what was obviously not a normal landing sound; I cut the fuel to off and turned off the ignition. When the aircraft stopped sliding I immediately exited the aircraft and ran down the runway and back to my car to obtain a phone. Eventually we were able to lift the aircraft and remove it from the runway. Having had two days to think about the events; we believe that the circuit breaker blew on the gear during the extension prior to being locked.
