Narrative:
While landing plane bounced several times. On third or fourth bounce I went around and landed uneventfully. Inspection of the prop revealed a prop strike had occurred. There was no indication that the strike had occurred.I was concerned about the runway length. This runway had a non-landing portion before it; so I planned to aim for this and land on or close to the numbers. When coming in I was low and slow; so I added some power but landing just short of the actual runway; this started the porpoise. In retrospect; I really should not have sweated the runway length which was only 500 ft shorter than my home field; and I should have just landed as I normally do; as I did on the go around. So the basic plan was flawed. Second when I was low and slow; I should have gone around; and finally I was slow to recognize the porpoise; and I initiated my go around one bounce too late.
