moved from Homebrew to Rules forum
I don't know if this question really belongs in this forum or not FYI since this is a rules as written question, but no.
The reason why is that to trigger an opportunity attack the target has to be leaving a space within your reach...your reach is 10 feet, meaning that the reaction is taken when the target is leaving a space that is 10 feet away from you, which is beyond the 5 foot range that would impose disadvantage on ranged attacks. This also means that you do NOT get opportunity attacks if they move within your reach, only if they leave it.
