Analysis
Shortly after rotation at an alt of aprx 20 ft AGL, the plt stated the control column would not move. He closed the throttle & the acft landed hard, bounced, then came to rest off the rwy. Examination of the acft revealed 3 of the 4 lower instrument panel shock mounts failed allowing the panel to drop. As a result the attitude indicator contacted the control column causing the binding.
