Narrative:

Upon landing I came down too hard on the nose wheel. With stall horn going I chose not to go around and was very surprised to find the plane coming off the ground on two occasions. I kept the plane on the runway; had no damage outside of the plane; the engine did not stop or show any signs of any issues and I taxied without issue or incident and without assistance to the FBO. Upon tie down I saw that the tips of the prop were heavily scratched and one prop appeared cracked in the center. I left the plane at the airport FBO and was picked up and flew as a passenger back to my airport. I feel that I did not flare enough putting too much pressure on the front nose wheel. My speed over the numbers was 79. I also felt a sudden crosswind very near ground level that inappropriately diverted my attention from the flare. I will be taking dual instruction on landings as soon as my plane is repaired.
