Entering from the bar

Hopefully someone can offer this newbie some answers!
In my rule book it states that the only time that you can enter a checker from the bar is if you roll a free space in your opponent’s home board or if you roll a point that has your checkers on it. I had been under the impression that you could also land on a point in your opponent’s home board that they have a single checker on and then you could hit them back to the bar. Am I missing something?

You are totally correct. Maybe the wording in your rule book is a little off, but it is fine to land on an empty point, a point with your own checkers, or a point with an opposing blot.
