within range
Inside the distance
Within range means close enough to reach, hit, or affect—or falling between acceptable limits.
The phrase works literally for weapons and sensors: The target came within range of our radar.
It also describes acceptable parameters: Your blood pressure is within range.
Something within range is accessible or achievable; outside that range, it's not.
