From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Around 1630 MST the pilot was practicing crosswind take-off and landings. He attempted to land the airplane on runway 22 and was coming in a little hight. The airplane dropped and "bounced" onto the runway two times before a "go-around" was initiated. The pilot went around the pattern and successfully landed the aircraft on the second attempt. The pilot shut down the aircraft and pushed it into the hangar. While performing a post flight inspection of the aircraft, the pilot discovered that the propeller had a propeller strike. Craig frisbee, A&P mechanic, performed a hard landing inspection on the aircraft. No further damage was found.
