Narrative:

I was on a straight-in final approach and the gear warning horn sounded because I had pulled the throttles back. That prompted me to perform the before landing checklist 2 miles from the airport and I vocalized it as I performed it; including 'gear; down.' the approach was not ideal and I was concentrating on correcting the slope and speed all the way down and forgot to verify the checklist. It got to the runway and I heard a scrape; then the gear warning horn and realized the gear had not come down and thought I hit the belly. I initiated a go-around; and am 80% sure I recycled the gear; left them down and landed the plane safely. On the ground; after engine shutdown; was when I noticed the propellers were bent. No further damage was observed in the post flight inspection.
