C172RG PLT MADE GAR AT A NON TWR ARPT AFTER TOUCHING DOWN GEAR UP RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AFT TAIL CONE TIE-DOWN RING AND ALL 3 BLADE PROP TIPS WERE CURLED.

Narrative

I TOUCHED DOWN GEAR UP AND MADE A SUCCESSFUL GAR WITH ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO ACFT. ARRIVING FROM A SUCCESSFUL 4.2 HR VFR FLT FROM ZZZ TO ETN; UNDER RADAR FOLLOWING; I DID NOT DISMOUNT THE CLIPBOARD FROM THE YOKE. I HAD NAV LIGHTS ON TO SHOW UP AGAINST HAZE IN THE DISTANCE; WHICH CAUSED PANEL LIGHTS TO BE DIM. PERFORMED CHKLIST ON ARR; AND DOWNWIND; DECIDING TO DROP GEAR ON BASE. TURNING BASE AND FINAL; OBSERVED A FAMILY VEHICLE AT THE FIELD; AND FORGOT THE FINAL CHKLIST. WITH GPS BEEPING AND HEADSET ON; I NEVER HEARD THE GEAR WARNING HORN. PWR WAS ALL THE WAY BACK. I FLARED AND HEARD THE AFT TIE-DOWN RING SCRAPE THE GND. I ADDED PWR AND WENT AROUND -- LIFTING OFF THE RWY AT 60 MPH. ENG DID NOT SHUDDER OR VIBRATE. MADE A TIGHT PATTERN; CYCLED THE GEAR AND RE-EXTENDED AND CHKED GREEN; AND MADE A SUCCESSFUL LNDG. ENG RAN OK. POSTFLT INSPECTION REVEALED AFT TIE-DOWN RING WORN; ILS ANTENNA INSULATOR BROKEN; AND 2 OR 2 1/2 INCHES OF EACH TIP OF THE 3 BLADE PROP WAS CURLED BACK. NO TEARING ON PROP TIPS. ABSOLUTELY NO SHEET METAL WAS EVEN SCUFFED. I WAS ALONE IN THE PLANE WITH APPROX 16 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING; WHICH PUT ME WAY BELOW GROSS. I REALLY HAD TO WORK GETTING BACK OFF THE GND. ANY HEAVIER AND I'D HAVE BELLIED IT ON.
