Approached ZZZ Runway XX for landing at approximately XA:50 from the south. After monitoring radio communications and no one in the pattern I made the decision to approach for landing straight in. I made a radio call stating my intentions and reporting 3 mile final for runway XX. I reduced throttle and speed to within flap range. I input flaps adjusted trim and further reduced speed. I turned on the runway lighting and adjusted course to the left then made a radio call for a mile final approach to runway XX. I verified my indicated airspeed was 62kts as I approached the runway; aimed for the numbers; and reminded myself the runway is closer than it appears in the dark. I then touched down hard on the runway and the nose of the aircraft bounced high sounding the stall warning. When the nose gear came back down in contact with the runway again it did not support the aircraft and the propeller came in contact with the runway stopping the aircraft on runway XX. My first concern was that I was obstructing the runway and tried to make a radio call. However; the radio was not working; at which point I powered down the aircraft and was attempting to open the canopy when I was approached by bystanders at the airport. They asked if I was okay and moved the aircraft off the runway via [Taxiway] 1A; by holding on to and lowering the tail pulling the aircraft on its main landing gear.
GA pilot reported experiencing a bounced landing; followed by a hard landing which damaged the propeller and caused the aircraft to be stopped on the runway.
