Narrative:

On approach to landing; the approach checklist was completed. The approach became high and a little fast. With the airspeed distraction; the landing checklist was not completed. In the flare to landing; a grinding noise was heard. A go around was accomplished. No gear warning horn was heard. A left traffic pattern was entered; the gear was positioned down; and the landing checklist was completed. A normal landing was accomplished and taxi to parking completed without incident. Upon shutdown; bent prop tips were noted. Looking back; an upwind approach would have provided more time to complete all of the checklists; and ensure the aircraft was configured to land.
