By saying "something is a reach" does it mean it is achievable in the future or not?

A 'reach' is a limit of capability. That is the present situation but there is nothing to say that the same would be true of the future. There might be a time when what you are reaching for will be achievable.

Achievable, but with much hard work and maybe a little luck. But something like, I want to learn to cook, is an achievable thing for most men. It is easy for some, with some hard work, most men can achieve it. Not out of this world, but some men would have to work hard to get there. So it depends on what you are trying to achieve.

To say "something is a reach" is the same as saying something is a long shot. (Achievable but doubtful)

Telling someone that the conclusion that they have come to is something of a reach means that what they have concluded is most likely false. They have" reached" that conclusion by stretching the facts. They actually mean where did that incredible conclusion come from.

Yes--It means it is within reach, but one must work hard to get there.
