There is no easy way to select a WordPress Archive of a custom post type to be the homepage. The simplest way to have a custom post type appear on the homepage is to create a View of this custom post type, sorted by post date. Then insert this View in a custom Page, and set this Page to be your frontpage. Let me know if you have questions about that.
