You guys know I had a prop trike in my Mooney.  Apparently Mooneys are known for that.  The repair costs were huge.  My insurance went up, but not by much.  I wound up changing carriers mostly because of the mistreatment I suffered during the claim.

It is cold, but it's also well known that you get two bounces in a Mooney for free. The third buys you a prop and engine teardown, and Michael sadly found out. My rule: If it doesn't settle down nicely on the runway after the 1st bounce, balls to the wall and go around.

Tigers are the same but I've never even tried one bounce because you're asking for a lot of bad things to happen as you state.  As we all know it's just about air speed and a little discipline.
