The best approach you can make on landing any aircraft is one that you cannot see the bottom of the aircraft, yet it flys straight.  That means no down elevator and carefully adjusting throttle to slow down the aircraft.  If you do it right, the plane will slow down and descend on it's own.  Once ready to land, the flair maneuver in which you pull a little elevator to raise the nose slightly will bleed off the remaining airspeed and it will settle in for a nice smooth landing.

You can force it down if you wish, but your landings will most likely bounce or be very hard which is the best way to break things.

I preach this all the time whenever a thread like this one comes up.  Practice is the best way to do things right.  Dedicate a flight, perhaps the first one of the day, to doing nothing but take off, trim, then do approaches.  You don't have to actually land, but get it to a point where all that is necessary is to flair and land.. then simply add throttle and go around.  Get the plane to go where you want it to go and practice that technique. 

Make the turn from base to final and point it right at you, and reduce throttle and watch it.  If it appears to be short, ADD A BIT OF THROTTLE and then remove what  you added once you are back where you want it.  MOST important, if it does not look good, by all means, go around.  Don't try to land it at any cost because what you will most likely end up with is a broken plane.  Don't be so proud that you don't want to go around.  A better pilot will see the problem, add throttle and climb out and go around and try again. 

Practice.. practice.. practice.  Burn fuel.  Get that thing up there, and do practice landings.  That's the only way you will get it right.  Eventually, your landings will be the envy of the airfield.  Then you will have consistency in your landings.. they will look good and will get you to your next flight rather than picking up the pieces and going home.
