Taildragger pilots know it best....

They know what happens if not reacting quickly, first bounce then a second one and a third, all of increasing magnitude..with eventually a stall and hard contact and some bent metal.

So no shame, save your day; When things go wrong, react promptly

FULL THROTTLE AND GO AROUND !!!!!!!!

Don't start thinking too much to the point that you may apprehend landing and not focuss correctly on the procedure.

After all when parking your car and miscalculate when reversing hitting the sidewalk what do you do ???? Just that "GO AROUND" get out and start again !!!!!!!!
