I fly out of a rough, undulating and short ish (>350m) field - I've also had the front strut bottom out and it makes me cringe a little.

I just make sure I land with full flaps and, most importantly, on speed. I try not to float and "plant" it in - not a carrier landing but get the mains down. Back pressure on the stick all the way to the stop usually gets me in with just a small bounce on the mains.

With a 10kt headwind my CFI can stop before the intersection (125m), and makes it look easy. He's the man.
