find a record in range of a number

Hi ..I have done search but cannot find situation that fits. 

I need to do a search or select if you will on a table that contains over 150,000 records.   Within this table there are 2 columns I am interested in.  One is low_number and other is high_number.  I need to find the record(s) that these two columns are in range of a number passed to it through the select statement.

Example:

I want to do a search for all records that the number 301 falls between the low_number and high_number in that same, particular record.

I have in the column low_number of a record the number 280 and in the high_number column I have the number 310.  I am doing a search for all the records that the number 301 will be in range of for the columns low_number and high_number in each particular record.

Since I have passed the number 301 to the select statment. It should return to me the record number that has the values for the low_numbe r at 280 and high_number 310.

I have tried to use RANGE and BETWEEN but they also return records out of range.

Can anyone point me in right direction?

Any help much appreciated.

Could you post an example table (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements)
and some of the queries you've tried?  Somebody will undoubtedly
give an answer, but it's a good idea to learn why things that don't
work don't work.  If we could see what you're doing then we could
provide that explanation.

How did you use RANGE?  I see nothing about it in the documentation
except in the "SQL Key Words" appendix.
