Well I'm posting this as separate from my usual "today's flight" so coming into home field was a bit low on short accoss the numbers at 75 things seemed OK sight picture looked normal and I pulled power ready to settle it onto the gear the bottom dropped out and we bounced hard. I firewalled the power and before I could get the flaps in we nosed up and hit the skid. The stall was just about to happen when I got the nose to drop. Took a eternity to get positive rate but eventually things got normal. Went around and every thing went fine. Cross winds were as always perhaps lighter than usual. Second landing was OK and gear is fine. I've alwat wondered what a hard landing really was now I know. Right now my adrenaline is running way high and needed to post this to help myself relax. No idea what happened but I do know it could have been a lot worse.
I'll be doing a close inspection to make sure everything is ok
